Today we wandered up to see Fort Anne. This site has been fortified since 1629 when the Scots came to Nova Scotia (New Scotland). It became a French fort in the early 1630's. Pretty typical, as far as forts go - you see one, you've seen them all. It was a beautiful windy sunny day and we enjoyed stomping around the grounds.

In the museum was a four-panel tapestry depicting the area's four centuries of history - what a labor of love! I was impressed that it took over 100 volunteers and thousands hours to create this masterpiece.
Another part of this fort that gave me the heebie-jeebies was The Black Hole. Enough said. Here are the pictures. I did go in there, but you can bet I didn't stay long.....

No-no-no black hole! The tapestries are beautiful. And as long as you enjoyed stomping around the ol' fort, that's all that counts!
