Fort Laprairie

Fort Laprairie was constructed in 1687, and served as a military fort in New France until 1713. The fort was attacked by English and Dutch colonists under Major Pieter Schuyler on August 11, 1691, but resisted to the invaders.[1]

The site where the fort had once stood was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1921.[2] It is now a residential area and park (Place La Mennais) located on rue Émile-Gamelin in La Prairie, Quebec. A cairn for second battle is located at Chemin de la Bataille Nord and Chemin de Saint Jean
