Situated at the head of the Bay of Fundy on the border between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, Fort Beauséjour – Fort Cumberland stands at a crossroads of natural and cultural history. The site is an excellent venue to view a heritage landscape of great importance to Canadian history. Fort Beauséjour – Fort Cumberland National Historic Site was founded in 1926 and recalls an era when European imperial forces struggled for control of colonial lands in eastern North America. Sweeping vistas of the surrounding marshlands can be seen from the site and the winds that sweep the landscape whisper echoes of the area's colourful historic past.
