Fort Sackville was a British fort located in present-day
Bedford, Nova Scotia that was built during
Father Le Loutre's War. The British built the fort adjacent to present-day
Scott Manor House, on a hill overlooking the Sackville River to help prevent French, Acadian and Mi’kmaq attacks on Halifax. The fort consisted of a blockhouse, a guard house, a barracks which housed 50 soldiers, and outbuildings, all encompassed by a palisade. Not far from the fort was a rifle range. The fort was named after
George Germain, 1st Viscount Sackville.
