Looks over Lake Ontario and is located beside Fort Henry. If you can go when there is a special event at RMC then it is a bonus. This is where Canadians train there military officers. It is a recognized university. You can drive around the grounds or get out of the car and walk beside Lake Ontario

It is a historic place with a lot of character. The grounds are well maintaned and the architecture is beautiful.

Stop here as part of the tour and went into the museum. Cadet was very helpful and filled in about the removable roof, which we found fascinating. Lots of artifacts and memorabilia. The parade grounds are lovely and the buildings had a lot of character.

Take a stroll onto the campus of Royal Military College (RMC) and make your way to Fort Frederick. It's the Martello tower just on the other side of the stone wall at the south end of the soccer field. It has memorabilia of the college, but the Douglas gun collection upstairs is truly amazing.

As an old Cadet, on this gateway weekend we decided to stop by to see how it evolved over the years....all residences have been renovated and integrates well with the old buildings. Visiting the Museum, I found out that Chris Handfield (one of our Canadian Astronaut) actually graduated from RMC the year before I got there (1982). If you like the Military stuff, this place will tell you a lot about how officers got trained in the past.

Popped in here while wandering RMC campus to get an idea of the place before my son started attending here in the fall of 2014. Small, well kept collection of artifacts detailing the history of RMC. The gun collection is impressive, if you're into that sort of thing. It's only open in summer, but if you do the touristy Fort Henry thing it's not a bad idea to stop in here to see what the rest of that life was really like if you're a Canadian history buff. You'll have to go through the main gate & show some I.D. now, following the unfortunate events involving our service members in October, but this being our main military college it's worth the time for a quick visit.

Wanted to see the museum in one of the four turrets - this one inside the remains of Fort Frontenac. The fort just has the walls left and some old guns but there are signs everywhere not to leave the paths. Then discovered the museum was closed except for July & August, at least this year. Parking is terrible, with just a short gravel strip that is used for the entire military college guest parking. Due to being on an active Armed Forces Base, there are many signs noting of areas off limits, and with active training in the yards, you don't really want to wander off the main route thru the base to the old fort. Stopped a couple of times to ask for directions due to poor signage, and those I talked to were not that friendly, as if I should not have been there; of course it made sense after I found out the museum was closed.

We visited the Royal Military College (RMC) recently and had a wonderful time. A lot of people go to Fort Henry in Kingston but few find their way to the exquisite museum operated by RMC. It is situated at the very end of the small (Frederick) peninsula which houses the College and has marvellous water views from the ramparts. Free admission is also good value! The museum is situated in one of the many small Martello Towers which surround Kingston and providing a defence in the 19th century. It is housed in several stories and has stairs which would be difficult for anyone with ambulation problems. Its displays show the evolution of the Canadian military, the history of the College and has many weapons and uniforms used over the years. It would be a great visit for families.It is a little hard to find but there are signs once you pass through the College gates and if you get lost, just try to drive to the farthest point to get there. If you are at Fort Henry, just look over the bay on its south side and you will see the College on its peninsula across the water.

The RMC museum is nestled in the Fort Frederick Point at RMC. The museum has a great entry fee. Nothing!. However, you can make a donation to help with the maintenance and preservation of the artifacts. You will be impressed with the presentation and the quality of the displays. It is better than what is offered at Fort Henry for collection and displays. There are many kinds of personal weapons and 1800's defence artillery piece as well as epoch clothing, maps, dining wear and other interesting pieces. A must see.

Lovely spot and like walking around a museum. Thoroughly worth a visit. Make sure to visit Currie Hall and hopefully the cadets will be doing drill or something else.
