Thank you to everyone who joined us this weekend as we celebrated the 80th Anniversary of the Fort Henry Guard and 25th Anniversary of women in the Guard. When Fort Henry opened as a living history museum in 1938, the Fort Henry Guard was formed to interpret the historic site. The FHG is united by the common purpose of reenacting the lives of British soldiers garrisoned at the Fort at the time of Confederation. Today, the FHG is made up of Canadian university and college students who have no modern military affiliations. Diligent training and discipline ensure that 19th-century British military drills become second nature. To complete the picture of garrison life at Fort Henry, non-soldier roles such as soldiers’ wives are recreated by Domestic Interpreters. And as always, we are sharing highlights from the weekend:
