  This is where the Canadians fortified their position against any foreign (American) invasion. See where the British troops slept and drilled for the invasion that never happened. Still a very cool place to visit.

  Fort Henry is a great place to visit! They always have something on the go almost all year.Fort Fright = AMAZING!, Sunset ceremony = great for all ages, and there are always festivals and such going on there. If you are visiting Kingston or are a resident, you must experience it.

  This is a great place to go for some history and a lovely outing overlooking the Kingston waterfront. Be sure to take in the Rideau Locks - this is a World Heritage Site! If you check out the schedule, you can also enjoy hearing the Kingston Symphony and seeing fireworks at Fort Henry.

  Really felt like I was there 150 years ago, leaning on the old limestone, over looking the St Lawrence River. Imagine what it must of been like, peering over the walls, fully expecting an invading force to sail up the river. Cannons at the ready, muskets loaded.....an amazing attraction. Really shows what it would of been like...all those years ago. And of course the glass of wine in the restaurant, was a pleasant end to it all.

  This is an excellent historical site! There are many activities in the spring/summer/fall for all ages inside and around the fort. Highly recommended :)

  If your in Kingston this is a must see. Even if you just go for the amazing view from the top of the hill. The fort overlooks The City of Kingston and Lake Ontario with island views. A beautiful scene in the fall. Go when they have the sunset ceremony (bring ear protection for the young ones) It's a 1800 century fire fight very loud! but fun. We live here in Kingston and go at least once a year

  Fort Henry is a great half day trip to an historical attraction. The site itself is conveniently located to Kingston. They have different events that they offer over the course of the season to give people additional reasons to return to visit. I would recommend visiting if you're in Kingston, as the views alone make it worthwhile. The Fort was originally situated as the main defence for Kingston from an attack from the water. As a result, the Fort practically overlooks all of Kingston. There's a lot of history to Kingston and a lot to Fort Henry.

  Fort Henry is worth the money. They have a children's' program to entertain the young ones. The restaurants, especially the outdoor patio with its magnificent views, are good too.Be sure to wear a hat as it is quite sunny at the fort. The sunset ceremony, held once a week, is great .

  Went to sunset ceremony. Great show that should not be missed. They bring history to life and make for an enjoyable evening.

  Just a great old fort to go threw and also to see history as it was. I would go when they have the sunset ceremony as it's a night of fire to remember.
