Lonely Planet review

Near La Ronde amusement park there's also an old fort where the British garrison was stationed in the 19th century. Inside the remaining stone ramparts is the Musée Stewart with artifacts and tools from Canada's past. Check out the huge model of Old Montréal inside. There's a spotlight that sweeps over the buildings while old footage pops up on a video screen accompanied by narration and the presentation is beautifully done.

Demonstrations are also given outside by actors in period costume, and there's a military parade every day in summer. It's a 15-minute walk from métro Jean-Drapeau station; parking is free.
