3D Models of Fort York National Historic Site

Fort York, in downtown Toronto, was established by the British in 1793 to defend the newly founded town of York, now Toronto, and the entrance to its harbor. In April 1813, during the War of 1812, American forces captured the town in the Battle of York, and the fort's powder magazine was blown up as British troops withdrew. The fort was rebuilt soon afterward, and its barracks, blockhouses and magazines, most dating from 1813 to 1815, form the largest collection of original War of 1812 buildings in Canada. Today Fort York is a National Historic Site and museum.
