Fort Rodman
Fort Rodman
I shared the other day some shots in Fort Tabor park here in New Bedford including a shot looking into Fort Rodman, that day I also took some new shots of the Fort itself and thought I would share them today

Now there is a lot of Confusion over the name of this park it seems, the Fort Itself is Fort Rodman but the Park is called Fort Tabor after a smaller temporary fort that had been there
Also known as the Old Stone Fort, Fort Rodman (known as "Fort at Clark's Point" until 1898) began construction in 1857 under the third system of US fortifications, and in 1862 construction became overseen by Henry Robert, author of Robert's Rules of Order and an Army Corps of Engineers officer. The fort, as built, had emplacements for 72 cannon in three tiers; a fourth tier was originally planned, but this was removed from the design to allow more timely completion. Construction was halted in 1871, and the fort as planned was never completed.
The fort is awaiting restoration and is not open to the public which I hope does come to be soon I would love to see inside it .

This park is very popular with walkers, not so much in the very early morning when I mostly go there, but after the sun comes up I often see people walking around the fort and the park

Wow, what a cool old building! I wonder how many old forts you have around where you live. I bet it is a staggering number. It would be cool to make a road trip to visit all of them. Very nice shots as always!
isnt it grand and I should check out other forts in the area and visit some of them indeed
Wow, this reminds the history.
Such a beautiful fort.

what a beautiful building, I love the material with which the fort was built
Beautiful shots, appreciate you letting us know
have a great day
thanks and you to have a great day
Even reading the names of fort and park mixed thoughts of my mind. 😜😂
👍🙂👍
What a cool old fort! Shame you can't get inside. I love historic forts, I used to visit as many as I could when I lived back east. Thanks for sharing!
I keep hoping one day they will open it up
If they do that would be great, but I'm sure they need to make sure it's still structurally sound before letting tourists go inside
yes no doubt but i can but hope
Your Fort Rodman photos are amazing. Those shots of Fort Rodman are 🔥. It's like you're giving this forgotten piece of history a new life through your lens.
Thanks kindly your support is appreciated
Have a great day
Fortifications like these always interest me because of the fact the US was defending itself. The US felt its territory was threatened. A different time.
👍🙂👍
