A piece of American history that shouldn't be missed. Take the tour (only offered a few times per day) to get some historical background from the very knowledgeable (in our tour ) guide.
Amazing place. So glad we did the tour . Got to watch muskets being fired and a cannon being fired. Place was oozing with history. Must see if you’re there!
A wonderful place! The only thing I have to rant about is the God forsaken steps that go above my knees. But once you get up the steps you can see the bay & it's beautiful! The tunnels are amazing!
There needs to be some more work, interactive activities, plaques , Rangers to interact with visitors, but it is a nice fort to see.
Dog friendly & family friendly historic battle fort, self guided tour with great views of the water. Informative.
