Learning about history is interesting! My friends and I went to visit this museum because the charming and mystery of this place attracted us. Actually, this bunger built to preparing for if American will attack Canada for war of 1812

The War of 1812 (which lasted from 1812 to 1814) was a military conflict between the United States and Great Britain. As a colony of Great Britain, Canada was swept up in the War of 1812 and was invaded several times by the Americans. The war was fought in Upper Canada, Lower Canada, on the Great Lakes and the Atlantic, and in the United States. The peace treaty of Ghent (1814), which ended the war, largely returned the status quo. However, in Canada, the war contributed to a growing sense of national identity, including the idea that civilian soldiers were largely responsible for repelling the American invaders. In contrast, the First Nations allies of the British and Canadian cause suffered much because of the war; not only had they lost many warriors (including the great Tecumseh), they also lost any hope of halting American expansion in the west, and their contributions were quickly forgotten by their British and Canadian allies (see First Nations and Métis Peoples in the War of 1812).

It ended up United States never attack this base so now it still a military base but open for people to see as a museum

We had to buy tour guy to show us around in the order to see inside but...

This is one place you should definitely not miss if you're visiting Quebec. Try and reach around 10 to see the change of guard ceremony since it's very traditional and one of it's kind of experience. The Royal 22eme Regiment Museum is also worth a visit with their amazing display of collection of the regiment's and the Canadian history, especially through the two world wars and the Korean war. We reached just around 10 but I'd recommend to reach around 9:35-9:40 because it gets crowded by 10 and you may not get the best view (and also factoring in about five minutes from the entrance since you have to buy tickets). The ceremony had already started. They have narrators in both, French and English. It's a great watch. They have a walking guided tour of the fort. You cannot walk around the fort without an escort since the fort is still an active military base. The only option, if you don't want to take the tour is to either go to the museum or leave. Just one thing about Uber - Ubers can actually go all the way to the fort's (museum's) entrance but we had an experience where an Uber driver cancelled after reaching till Cote de la Citadelle saying he...
