Canada’s Last Unaltered Civil War Era Fortification | Red Head Battery (1863), Saint John, NB

Come with us as we explore this civil war era Canadian artillery battery. We talk about the history of the battery and document its precarious present-day condition. Please do not visit the battery due to the dangerous erosion in the area. Special thanks to Saint John historian Harold Wright and Heritage Resources for providing valuable knowledge and photographs to make this project possible!
