Evening at the Fortress of Louisbourg

Let Your Curiosity Get the Best of You – Tales from the Past

As the sun sets behind the walls and the day’s visitors depart, you see the Fortress take on another persona. The mood changes, the present slips away and your surroundings become the focus and the stage for a most unusual live performance.

The story that unfolds before you draws you into the lives of people in the eighteenth-century town. You may hear juicy gossip about upper-class households, sordid affairs of love and money, funny and strange tales about village marauders, heartache and tragic circumstances of suffering and even death. Your host is an eighteenth-century resident, or perhaps the spirit of one, who beckons you through the salons, taverns and streets. It is an evening to be found only at the Fortress of Louisbourg.
