Fort Ingall

Fort Ingall in Cabano, now part of Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, Quebec, was built in 1839 during the Aroostook War, a border dispute between British North America and the United States. Ordered by Lieutenant Frederick Lenox Ingall, it grew from a small lakeside fieldwork into a stockaded fort with 12 barracks and a garrison that peaked at about 200 men before the 1842 Webster–Ashburton Treaty ended its military role. Dismantled and long lost, its location was confirmed by excavations in 1967 and 1968. Reconstructed beginning in 1972 from archaeological evidence, it now serves as a military museum, archaeological site, and major cultural landmark.
