Discover Canada's early military history in Fredericton, where historic fortresses still line the city and are patrolled by actors dressed in period military clothing. As the Provincial Government of New Brunswick's seat, Fredericton features majestic architecture and a historic streetscape ideal for walking. Once you've learned about the city's history, admire its natural beauty on the banks of the San Juan River. Downtown Fredericton is the historic fort area, south of the river. British troops were kept here between 1784 and 1869, and the city maintained its original fortresses to this day. Begin your tour at the visitor center of the magnificent red-brick City Hall. Walk along the river to Plaza de Los Officers, where a spectacular changing of the guard ceremony takes place twice a day during the summer in Canada.
Nestled in the wilderness, Fredericton is also a dynamic cultural city. There you can see fascinating art galleries and heritage museums, which add vitality to the city and its own architecture. Find the buildings that house the New Brunswick Provincial Government in the Fredericton waterfront. The old government building is located to the west of the city. Tour the majestic 19th-century building and visit the office of the Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick. Head east of downtown to visit the New Brunswick Legislative Branch, the Legislative Assembly Building. This palace-like building, defined by its octagonal tower, has housed the New Brunswick assembly since 1882. Book an interior tour in advance. Visit the nearby Cathedral of Christ Church and admire its spire that rises 60.3 meters (198 ft) above the river.

The area of present-day Fredericton was first used for seasonal agriculture by the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet peoples. Corn was the main crop in the area. Interestingly, Fredericton's site served as a kind of capital for the Aboriginal people of the area. Aucpaque, the area's Aboriginal "main village," is located a few miles upstream from the site of present-day Fredericton.
