Fort Beauséjour on Bay of Fundy Photos

At the upper end of the Bay of Fundy, Fort Beauséjour was built by the French in 1751 to defend the isthmus of Chignecto. Captured by the British in 1755, it was renamed Fort Cumberland & held against an American attack in 1776. The ruins are now run by Parks Canada.
