Built in 1793, to protect Toronto Bay from American invasion, this fort just east of Exhibition Place represents Canada's largest concentration of original War of 1812 buildings. Period-costumed staff provide guided tours highlighting the blockhouses, barracks and officers' quarters. The staff give demonstrations of what military life was like in the early 18th century. Special events throughout the year include a Battle of York Commemoration (April 30th), Victoria Day Celebration and Canada Day at Fort York.disabled access.
