Description
Fort Anne, the scene of so many battles in the past, is today classified as Fort Anne National Historic Site. The old fortifications, the powder magazine and the ramparts are all open to visitors. Tall chimneys mark the officers' quarters. There are memorials to Sieur de Monts, Samuel Vetch, Acadia's first governor, and Jean Paul Mascarene. On the fort flies the flag showing the English St George's Cross and the Scottish St Andrew's Cross.

There is also a museum depicting in detail the history of the town and that of Acadia and Nova Scotia, as well as the natural history of the region. Some Indian canoes and various other artifacts complete the exhibition.
