Perched on a hill overlooking Saint John, Fort Howe is a reconstructed fort that offers visitors a glimpse into the city's military past. The site features interpretive exhibits detailing the fort's role in protecting the harbor during the 18th and 19th centuries. From its elevated position, visitors can enjoy sweeping views of the city, the Saint John River, and the Bay of Fundy. The fort's grounds are ideal for a leisurely stroll, and the on-site displays provide context for the area's strategic importance.
