The U.S. has an impressive military history, one that is evident by the great number of forts that fill our country’s landscape. Many of these historic bunkers have been restored and repurposed into museums that are filled with incredible stories of the military strongholds they once were.

In 1798, the birthplace of The Star-Spangled Banner, Fort McHenry, was constructed in Baltimore. This coastal fortress was bombarded by the British during the War of 1812 in an attempt to gain access to Baltimore Harbor. The shelling continued until the next morning when the British depleted their ammunition. Francis Scott Key, a lawyer on a nearby truce ship, was inspired by the fort’s valiant defense and penned a poem later renamed “The Star-Spangled Banner” and set to music as the American national anthem. The fort remained active during both World Wars, and was made a national park in 1925.Atop an ancient trail used by travelers and traders,

Fort Stanwix proudly identifies as the place where the “American flag was first flown in battle.”According to local legend, on August 3, 1777, the first stars and stripes were created out of “a soldier’s white shirt, strips of fabric from a woman’s red petticoat and the blue straps from Captain Abraham Swartwout’s cloak.”  Known as “the fort that never surrendered”, Fort Stanwix successfully repelled a prolonged siege in August 1777 during the Revolutionary War. A new multi-million dollar visitor’s center opened in 2005 at the Rome, New York fort.

The first shots of the Civil War were fired at Fort Sumter, a fortification located in Charleston Harbor, South Carolina. Originally constructed after the War of 1812 to protect important harbors and ports, the Fort is now part of the Fort Sumter National Monument and features a Visitor Education Center and museum. In order to build up the sand bar where the fort is built, 70,000 tons of granite was imported from New England, although the fort remained unfinished until the Civil War broke out.  

Fort Hancock, part of The Sandy Hook Unit in Middletown Township, New Jersey, defended the Atlantic coast and entrance to New York Harbor, with its first gun batteries operational in 1896. The Unit encompasses Fort Hancock, Sandy Hook Proving Ground National Historic Landmark District, the Sandy Hook Lighthouse and natural areas and shorelines.  Fort Hancock’s defenses waxed and waned with the needs of the nation from the end of the Spanish-American War through the end of World War II. Fort Hancock and Sandy Hook Proving Ground National Historic Landmark cover the entire peninsula, including what is now under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard. Visitors may tour gun batteries and the historic lighthouse as well as Sandy Hook’s trails and beaches.

Fort Ticonderoga is an 18th-century, star-shaped fort near Lake Champlain. Perhaps one of the most beautiful forts, Fort Ticonderoga is set amidst the tall pines of the Adirondacks across the water from Vermont and surrounded by the historic King’s gardens. Originally known as Fort Carillon, the Fort was constructed by the French-Canadians during the Seven Years’ War. Held by the French and British over the years because of its important location at the southern end of Lake Champlain, the fort is most storied, however, for its surrender. On the morning of May 10, 1775 Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys coerced a surrender from the fort’s nightshirt-wearing commander and took control without firing a shot. The fort was eventually abandoned in 1781. Today, the fort is a museum, teaching and research center, and tourist attraction.
