Fort Townshend

St. John's, NL

Fort Townshend is an archaeological site in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador that was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1951. The original military fort was built, as the headquarters of the British garrison, between 1775 and 1779, to secure St John's from attacks, from the French, as well as from American privateers, and it was abandoned in 1871.
