Fort Howe National Historic Site

This is a great place to sit and overlook the city, and harbour below. This Fort was built after the distraction of Fort Frederick in the 18th Century. It used to house the jail for Saint John in the very early years. There is not much left or interpretations the history but it is a great place to visit to see Saint John. It is also the location of the “Saint John 2000” sign to mark the millennium. However after 2002 the year was removed.

I loved the experience being here, for the fort, but also for the walk, and the incredible view you get when you reach the top of the hill. The geology is very interesting here as well for those who are interested in those things. A beautiful landmark in the city.

Great view of the city skyline but you can't get inside and no interpretive panels

Always love a visit to Fort Howe. The view is beautiful ... no matter the weather. ☺️

Closed for the winter but you can still walk up. Not much to see for the fort itself, one building and two cannons. Good views of the city though but hardly worth seeing. Probably took about 45 min to hike up, walk around and head back down. No other visitors here.
