Prescott
Fort Wellington was constructed in Prescott during the War of 1812 to defend the St. Lawrence
River shipping route between Montreal and Kingston from possible attack by the United States. The fort continued to be used for military purposes, with occasional periods of abandonment, until it was opened to the public as an historic site in 1923.
