Today from the Archives, we bring you Curator Alex McLean who keeps history alive! He started in the #FortHenry Guard back in 2009 and is currently starting his 10th summer season! 👏🏼 #professionsMW #MuseumWeek

Did you know the motto of the #FortHenry Guard is "Honi soit qui mal y pense" (Evil be to him who evil thinks), which symbolizes the Order of the Garter, an ancient order of Knighthood of which the Queen is Sovereign? This motto is also on the Shako Plate attached to the Shako headdress worn by the Guard. 🙌🏼 #FHCelebrates80

Today from the Archives, we would like to thank Dave Lawrence & Ivan Grossutti. They have volunteered every Thursday in the #FortHenry Museum for 19 years and 10 years respectively. They work on conserving the small arms collection and currently, they have spent approx. 30 hours restoring this Snider-Enfield Long Rifle. (Pictured on the left) Their expertise is greatly appreciated by us all and the firearms collection would be in much rougher shape without their dedication and expertise. 👏🏼 #NationalVolunteerWeek #NVW2018

Happy #WorldHeritageDay! Today we celebrate the wonderful sites located in @KingstonCanada and proud to be recognized as a #UNESCO World Heritage Site! 👏🏼🇨🇦 #FortHenry

Did you know the #FortHenry Guard train with original breech-loading Snider-Enfield rifles, 24 pounder smooth bore muzzle loading garrison artillery, and reproduction 6 pounder rifled, breech-loading Armstrong guns? 💥

On August 29, 1963, #FortHenry Guard had the pleasure of greeting United States Marine Corps! 👏🏼 #FHCelebrates80 Stay tuned as we share more memories from back in the day!
