Built in 1846 at the time of the Oregon Crisis, Murney Tower was an addition to the defensive fortifications of Kingston. It is one of the finest Martello Towers in North America and served as military housing for more than 40 years after its completion.
Operating as a museum since 1925, the tower has 3 floors that display a collection of military and domestic artifacts of 19th century Kingston.
