Fort Willow Reimagined

Step into History
Festival at Fort Willow Logo

Fort Willow Reimagined – Phase One now open

Enjoy the first phase of “Fort Willow Reimagined,” a series of five 3D signs accompanied by a guided audio tour that depicts what the site would have looked like during the War of 1812. 

As you explore Fort Willow Conservation Area, look through the beautiful 3D interpretive signage to envision the buildings that once stood inside the timber outlines. Enhance your experience with a self-guided audio tour! 

Scan the QR code with your smartphone and listen to the audio recording that tells the story of each building. 

The artwork and timber outlines are based on archeological studies that identified several historical features at the conservation area. Some of the features include a brick kiln, a commandant’s house, an officer’s kitchen, stable and yard, a blacksmith’s shop, a cookhouse, and barracks.

Phase one of this exciting initiative was made possible with funding from the Simcoe County Arts, Culture and Heritage Grant Program.
