The Friends of Historic Fort Willow (FHFW) are a volunteer group, operating
under the authority of The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority. Our goals
include the preservation of the original site and its reconstructed features and the
promotion of historical, educational and recreational activities which make
respectful use of the site.
Over the last fifteen years a volunteer group known as The Fort Willow
Improvement Group (FWIG) has invested hundreds of hours in rebuilding the site,
quite literally from the ground up. Their work has included locating and outlining
the buildings found in the 1955 archaelogical dig and constructing a palisade and
defensive earthworks. In addition the have constructed information kiosks,
erected signs and maintained a Native style "Three Sisters" garden inside the Fort.
The FWIG have now taken well-deserved retirement and the Friends of Historic
Fort Willow have taken over the task of preserving and operating the site. We
are always looking for interested persons to join the group!
