Portsmouth Village
This heritage area has many old buildings made of brick and stone that were once full of villagers who worked in tanneries, breweries and shipyards in the 19-century. Although the village was annexed in 1952 due to hard economic times, the Kingston historical society has preserved the historical background of this village.
Fort Frontenac
Once a French trading post and military fort built in 1673 to control the fur trade in the Great Lakes Basin and act as a protective barrier. This fort was designated a historical site in 1923. It has gone through several archaeological investigations.
Bellevue House National Historic Park
Honored as a National Historic Site, this early 1840s home has a distinctive Italian Tuscan style that was unusual for its time. Bellevue House served as a rental home to government officials, including Sir John A. MacDonald, Canada's first Prime Minister. MacDonald's short time at this residence was marred with sadness, as his son died and his wife was very ill. Today some MacDonald memorabilia can be viewed, and informative tours are available. Seasonal opening.
Tett Centre Arts Complex
Located along King Street West, this cultural complex has three industrial buildings still existing on the Tett Site.
