Louisbourg Museum
One of Katharine McLennan's greatest interests was history, specifically the history of the Fortress of Louisbourg in Cape Breton Island. For years she had travelled with her father to London, Paris, Boston, and Ottawa, to find information that could help to tell the story of Louisbourg, including the various sieges as well as the day-to-day life of the people who lived there during the 18th century.
