Fort Anne National Historic Site
Fort Anne National Historic Site is situated on the Annapolis River in Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, a 2-hour drive from Halifax and the airport. Port Royal and Melanson Settlement are nearby.
The grounds and trail are open year-round with no winter maintenance. The museum and washrooms are open from mid-May to Thanksgiving Day. Visit between June and September for the full experience.
