Heritage Houses
| |
Besides the Visitor Log House, the Old Bay House and the Clarke house there are over 15 other heritage buildings in the Fort and another 15 or more around the hamlet.
The details of these older structures are described briefly in the Fort Vermilion Heritage Guide and Buttertown Brochure which may be picked up at the Fort Vermilion Heritage Centre.
The brief synopsis accompanied with the following pictures is just as taste of their history.
Ps. Many of these buildings are on private property - please respect that privacy and obtain permission before getting a closer look.
