Gananoque Blockhouse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gananoque Blockhouse (1813 - 1815) Within a month of the Raid on Gananoque construction of a blockhouse was begun, with completion in 1813. It had an octagonal log parapet containing five guns. The blockhouse was abandoned after the War of 1812 and given to a private landowner.

The Blockhouse was quickly repairded in the 1837-38 Patriots War when there were fears American Militia forces were planning to attack. The Gananoque Blockhouse stood until 1852.
