Fortress of Louisbourg 9













Fortress of Louisbourg 9


While waiting for the firing of muskets, I photographed the chapel.  This small church was modestly furnished but they had a few statues and interesting windows.

Feel free to share with family and friends.

Fortress of Louisbourg 8













Fortress of Louisbourg 8



As you view the photos in this series, keep in mind that everything shown has been build and recreated from the ruins of the community.  There was nothing left standing when the British defeated the French back in the 18th century.

I was moving to another building when I realized there was a photo op and went to the guardhouse where there was a demonstration of loading and shooting muskets.  You can see the "soldiers" dressed in traditional dress from the time.

Feel free to share with family and friends.

When we walked into the Rodrigue House, there were quite a few visitors talking to a gentleman seated near the kitchen Window.  I photographed him through the crowd and took a few photos in the house before moving to Rodrigues Storehouse, where I photographed barrels and other items.

Feel free to share with family and friends.

Fortress of Louisbourg 6


We walked along the street and entered the Carrerot House from the back. 
Below is a description of the house from the park's brochure.  Later in the day, I entered the same building from the front and photographed some of the people and the kitchen area again.
Carrerot House André Carrerot was the garde-magasin, or Chief Clerk of the King’s Storehouse. He lived here with his wife, Marie Cheron, and a large family, their household servants, and one or two lodgers.    

Feel free to share with family and friends.
