Kingston Historical Society

We've published a new book, "A Troublesome Berth" The Journal of First Lieutenant Charles Allan Parker, Royal Marines: The Canada Years 1838-1840', edited by Robert J. Andrews & Rosalyn Parker Art. Click here for more information about the book

An article with a reprint of an 1886 Daily Whig story - "A GLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY AS IT WAS IN ’46-50" has been added to the "Write On Kingston" page.

In 2007, the Rideau Canal and the Kingston Fortifications (Fort Henry, Murney Tower, Shoal Tower, Cathcart Tower and Fort Frederick) were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

This becomes Canada's 14th World Heritage Site and the first in Ontario. For more about Murney Tower see the Murney Tower page.
