The 1895 General Society of Colonial Wars Monument

In 1895 members of the General Society of Colonial Wars visited Louisbourg and the unveiled a red granite column at the fortress site to mark the 150th anniversary of the New England siege of 1745.

The column was originally erected on the glacis of the King’s Bastion and surrounded by a wrought iron fence. With the reconstruction of Fortress Louisbourg, in the 1960s, the column was dismantled and moved to Rochefort Point close by the Atlantic Ocean. This is where up to 1,000 of the victorious New Englanders, victims of disease during the winter of 1745/46, are buried.
