Fort Petrie Military Museum

One of the best kept secrets of Cape Breton
An absolute must.
Breath taking views of Sydney harbor and the Eastern side of the Cabot trail.
In Cape Breton. Also a great place to photograph passing Cruise ships

This was truly an amazing experience. Being able to walk up the tower to see the lookout from the fortress during World War 2. If you're in the area, I HIGHLY recommend stopping in on your way.

The small museum tells big stories. Before visiting here, I didn’t even know there were lots of heavy fighting between here and Newfoundland plus Germany ever landed North America and U-boats were sunk very close by. The museum keeper is very knowledgeable and very friendly. We loved visiting here. (He even gives bookmarks(homemade)

Amazing 🇨🇦 WW1&WW2 history, the importance of Sydney's role in protecting the Atlantic route patrolled which has anti submarine destroyers.
Very cool place to visit and rich history. Has collections of pictures, antique guns, bullets, gas mask.

Relys on donations, so definitely donate as it's amazing and maintained by veterans.

Caretaker is a volunteer so calling ahead to confirm hours of operation is a must. Great part of Cape Breton history. Shows the importance and determination of our World War 2 veteran's

Worth the small trip and detour to see a little WWII history and some of the best views in the area. A must do.

It was an honour to visit such a place with lots of historic importence
Its a nice place if you want to have some fresh air
Even at night you could hang out with your friends

I just went there like a 100 times still its one of the best place in my list

The Tanker and the guns in there gives you the vibe of french war occured there

This is a beautiful site to visit in the summer. If you are in a road trail, you can stop here to take a rest and watch the sun set.

Nice little non-profit museum/site. Definitely check it out if you're in the area.

This was pretty cool to stop and walk around. Informative plaques, WW1 armaments, and ruins jutting out off the cliffs. Be sure to walk the little path along the cliff to see them.

An amazing historical sight. Lots to see do and imagine. A definite place to visit.

Rob (the proprietor) was very knowledgable and clearly knew his material! Really nice views and a good collection of world war 2 era military memorabilia.

This is an outdoor museum just outside of Sydney NS. I enjoyed my time exploring an interesting part Canada's history

History well preserved..Def visit the museum at the fort.. Fella working there knows his stuff!

Love this place. Maintained by a volunteer gentleman who devotes his time and money to keeping this place alive, and looking great. Generous donations over the years, from local residents have added to the indoor display, inside the old watch tower. We'll worth a visit. In need of government money.!!

If you enjoy military history, it's a great spot to see

Beautiful little stopping spot with a wonderful view.

The guide is very interesting. The spot is very beautiful. You can sit and you can even enter the bunker. It's a precious piece of history worth the visit and it's free. There is energy vibrating from this space. Really worth the stop. You can also admire artefacts from the moment of the history.

A WWII gun battery to defend the harbor against German U boats. Well maintained and the gentleman there was quite friendly and knowledgeable.

A well maintained wartime fort used during WWII. It is a small fort but it is filled with a lot of artifacts from that time, sush as rifles and weapons, gas masks, uniforms, pictures and newspaper clippings. There is a lot to see including the beautiful views at the top of the tower. The caretake was friendly and informative. It is seasonal. Usually only open in the summer when cruise ships are in port. There are no bathrooms.
