BEHIND THE WALLS | THE HISTORY OF THE FORT ON ST. HELEN’S ISLAND
Information on the activity
Dates to come
Built in 1824, the Fort on St. Helen’s Island has had many vocations throughout its life. Through an outdoor tour with a Museum guide, explore the history of Montreal’s largest military complex, which was in turn an armoury, a British military base during the patriots’ rebellion, an internment camp during World War II, and finally a cultural and heritage site.
Did you know that the Fort on St. Helen’s Island is known as one of Montreal’s haunted locations? For Halloween, the Stewart Museum is offering a special version of the tour, sprinkled with mysterious and spooky stories about the site of the Museum.
Recommended for adults with children aged 9 and older. Limited places (12 people per tour)!
For the “Journées de la culture,” the tour is free of charge. The Admission fee for the museum remains.
