The money tower was built in response to disputes over the boarder between British North America and the United States in the 1840’s. For an entrance fee of $3 per person and a small investment of time, you can see how the soldiers and their families lived in the fortification. This is a great stop to make along the waterfront trail.

Built in 1846, Murney Tower is one of the finest Martello Towers in North America and served as military housing for more than 40 years after its completion. A museum since 1925, it has an extensive collection of military and domestic artefacts of 19th-century Kingston. (check hours of operation)
