Touring on the Weekends: A Photo Journal - Fort Washington

There are some little, tiny people at the gate...can you see them? This is the only big gate to the fort. It has a draw bridge and a dry mote. Fort Washington was completed in 1809.











A view of the visitors center from inside the fort.
















The main gate to the fort is in the background. This view is from the inside.















The mounts where the cannons were perched. The half circles behind the pivot points locked down the different cannon angles.











If you were standing outside, this cannon placement would be in the side of the wall.
