Introduction

The Royal Military College Museum is located on the campus of the Royal Military College (Point Frederick) in Kingston, Ontario, and has existed in various forms since 1922, telling the history of Canada's oldest military college (1876 to present), the Point Frederick heritage site, and the early Kingston naval shipyard. The museum's original site was the Fort Frederick Martello tower (a component of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, designated a National Historic Site in 1978). Since 2016, restoration work on Fort Frederick has forced the museum to relocate out of the tower; there is currently no dedicated exhibition space open to the public, and a new museum is being planned and constructed.
