Burlington Heights Military Depot


From North American Forts "Ontario Forts."

Last week I wrote about this military camp in regards to the Ancaster Bloody Assize hangings.

It is a National Historic Site in Canada.

BURLINGTON HEIGHTS DEPOT

(1813-1815)  Hamilton

A British military supply depot and barracks established here after the fall of Fort George to  the Americans.  Several log barracks and a tent encampment were built on the heights.  Officers used the Richard Beasley brick manor for their quarters.

Storehouses were built below the heights  along the bayshore.
