If you would like to help support the Fortress of Louisbourg, either behind the scenes or as one of our animators, why not join the Fortress Louisbourg Association? Our members have special access to programs not open to the general public and the satisfaction of knowing they are helping to preserve our local history for future generations. Members also receive a special membership card that entitles them to a 5% discount at the Fortress of Louisbourg’s restaurants and gift boutiques.
Anyone can join regardless of age, though any children under the age of 18 will not be able to vote at the Association’s meetings. The fee for single a single adult or child is $10, while families can join together for only $15.
Between 1722 and 1745, there were as many as 150 men or about 20% of the entire garrison made up of German and Swiss Protestants from the Swiss-based Karrer Regiment. There were enough Spaniards in the garrison to form a sub-culture.
