Built on the site of an important battle of the War of 1812, Fort Morgan was one of two major forts constructed by the U.S. government to defend Mobile Bay from
enemy attack. Taken by Confederates at the beginning of the Civil War, however, it wound up turning its guns against the government that had built it. Fort Morgan
played a critical role in the Battle of Mobile Bay and is one of the most significant historic sites on the Gulf Coast.
