Not really contempt ... indifference, maybe. I've been in Kingston for 27 years, and I have yet to visit Fort Henry, part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In winter, I have been up on the glacis with bags of apples to feed the deer, but I've never been inside; never seen the Sunset Ceremony. Maybe sitting on a snowbank at -25, surrounded by friendly wild deer, is better than wandering around the old pile with a tour guide
