Fort Phoenix

Fort Phoenix was built in 1775. The fort was enlarged just before the War of 1812. It was attacked on 13 Jun 1814 by a British landing party from the H.M.S. Nimrod and the garrison quickly drove off the attackers. After the end of the war the fort was abandoned.
During the American Civil war, the fort was reactivated, renovated and rearmed. The fort was abandoned in 1876.
