TURKEY POINT HISTORY
As early as 1798, Lieutenant Governor Simcoe
planned to fortify Turkey Point. By 1813
nothing had yet been done, and following
Procter’s retreat from Amherstburg, the
British decided to construct a navy yard and
covering fort here. Difficulties in supplying
the post, together with what was considered
the unsuitability of the location, led
to abandonment of the project after only a
blockhouse and part of a palisade had been
built. Today, Turkey Point is a popular destination
in the summer for boaters, campers,
cottagers, beach-goers and daytrippers.
Everyone enjoys a day at Turkey Point.
