Fort Edward is a National Historic Site of Canada in Windsor, Nova Scotia, (formerly known as Pisiguit) and was built during Father Le Loutre's War (1749-1755). The British built the fort to help prevent the Acadian Exodus from the region. The Fort is most famous for the role it played both in the Expulsion of the Acadians (1755) and in protecting Halifax, Nova Scotia from a land assault in the American Revolution. While much of Fort Edward has been destroyed, including the officers' quarters (which burned down in 1922) and barracks, the blockhouse that remains is the oldest extant in North America. A cairn was later added to the site.

  • Fort Edward es un lugar histórico que se encuentra en Nueva Escocia, Canadá. No queda demasiado de la construcción original, sólo los cimientos y un búnker. Fue construido por Charles Lawrence. Fort Edward jugó un papel importante en la Guerra Franco-india durante el año 1755. Fue al tomar esta posición cuando los ingleses expulsaron a los acadios de Nueva Escocia. Sirvió de cárcel para los Acadios. Se celebraba una feria anual en otoño, la cual era la más grande feria de agricultura de Norteamérica desde 1815. * Datos: Q867671 * Multimedia: Fort Edward (Nova Scotia) / Q867671 (es)
  • Fort Edward est un site historique national du Canada situé à Windsor, en Nouvelle-Écosse. L'élément le plus notable du fort est un blockhaus, qui, à part les fortifications en terre, est tout ce qui reste d'une plus grande structure érigée en 1750 par le Major Charles Lawrence, les quartiers des officiers et les baraques ayant brûlé. Le blockhaus est le plus vieux de son genre au Canada. (fr)
