Fort Glanville is both a state and federal registered heritage site. Dating from 1880 it is the most complete and authentic colonial fort in Australia. It has all of its 19th century large cannon, three restored to their fireable condition. A barracks, guardhouse, ammunitions store and other features ensure the fort was a self contained defensible site.
