A historic fort which helped defend Saint John and its harbour during war is in the midst of a multimillion-dollar restoration.
Scaffolding and tarp covering the Carleton Martello Tower for the past two years were recently removed as phase one was completed.
Cory Gaudet, asset manager with the Southern New Brunswick Field Unit of Parks Canada, said the first phase of the project came in on time and on budget.
