Fort Anne National Historic Site, Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia(Laura - Part 6 of 8)

My great aunt Eleanor lives in Annapolis Royal, home to the oldest fort in Canada, Fort Anne National Historic Site. Laura's photos featured with this post remind me of visits with my Aunt, and walking the pathways around Fort Anne's fortifications, originally built in 1629.

The Fort Anne Museum houses an amazing needlepoint tapestry, depicting over four centuries of local history. This quilt was unveiled on Canada Day in 1995 to commemorate the 400-year history of Annapolis Royal and the story of Fort Anne.
