Fort Laprairie
Fort Laprairie was constructed in 1687, and served as a military fort in New France until 1713. The fort was attacked by colonial British troops in 1691, but resisted to the invaders. The British and Dutch colonists were commanded by Major Pieter Schuyler.
The site where the fort had once stood was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1921.[1]
