Amherstburg - our home town

by kris-t - last update: Feb 28, 2008

Home is where the soul wants to be

Amherstburg ( population 26,000) is a town near the mouth of the Detroit River in Essex County, Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 25km south of Detroit.

The town, across the river from the United States, was permanently established as a British military fort in 1796. During the days of the Underground Railroad, the town was often the point at which freed slaves entered Canada.

Amherstburg is home to several tourist attractions, including Fort Malden and the North American Black Historical Museum.
