Fortress of Louisbourg
John Lunn, former Superintendent of Louisbourg, commented on Katharine's role in the restoration of the Fortress of Louisbourg. "Single handedly," he said, "she founded and financed the Louisbourg Museum and was the active curator for 20 years. For many more years she was a member of the Committee for Restoration and in her lady-like way she persisted with the authorities until something was done."
