Fort Hughes

Street Address: 13, 15 Wharf Rd, Oromocto, NB

A replica of Fort Hughes, a American Revolutionary War blockhouse, stand near its original location beside the Oromocto River. The original fort had been built in 1780 and garrisoned until the end of the war by a Loyalist regiment called the Royal Fencible Americans. Because of this connection, the town crest of Oromocto contains two soldiers from the Fencibles.
