Description
Fort Malden (30 km / 19mi from Windsor) was built between 1797 and 1799 by the British, after they were forced to abandon Detroit to the Americans. Only the base of some ramparts remain and a barracks restored to its 1840 state. The site commands a magnificent view of the Seaway. It was here that the Shawnee Chief Tecumseh met General Brock to negotiate peace. In the small museum on the grounds a slide show illustrates the fort's history and its role during the 1812 war and the Mackenzie Rebellion of 1837 to 1838.
