Fort Beauséjour
Just an hour away from Moncton is the Fort Beauséjour. The star-shaped Fort Beauséjour National Historic Site was built by the French in 1751 and was captured by English troops in 1755. The battle proved to be a portentous conquest in the Seven Years War that saw the fall of Quebec and the end of French colonial hopes. The defeat of Fort Beauséjour also led to the tragic expulsion of the Acadians in 1755. One of the few Canadian fortifications at which fighting actually occurred!
