(cnr Queen & Carleton Sts; 10am-5pm Tue-Sun)
See how the common soldier lived
in the 1820s (lousy food, too much drink) at this grim stone barracks in the Garrison Dis-
ant (plank beds, thin straw mattresses), but the conditions for those held in cells were
truly nasty. Threaten your kids! The lower section of the barracks is now used as artisan
studios.
Old Loyalist Burial Ground
CEMETERY
(Brunswick St; 8am-9pm)
This Loyalist cemetery, dating back to 1784, is an atmospher-
ic, thought-provoking history lesson of its own, revealing large families and kids dying
tragically young. The Loyalists arrived from the 13 colonies after the American Revolu-
tion of 1776.
