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.
