PARK PICK FORT BEAUSÉJOUR†FORT CUMBERLAND NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE Linking new Brunswick and nova Scotia, the isthmus of Chignecto is tranquil today; the remains of fort Beauséjour, however, prove this wasn't always the case. erected by the french in 1751 and captured by the British, who renamed it fort Cumberland in 1755, the star-shaped fort played a pivotal role in the battle for colonial control. in summer, you can view exhibits at the visitor centre, then take a self-guided tour aided by the explora app, the Xplorer booklet or interpretative signage. Kids, in particular, will enjoy the cannons and casements, though they may be content to don period- style guard costumes and just patrol the grounds (www.pc.gc.ca/eng/lhn- nhs/nb/beausejour/index.aspx).
