ATTRACTION IS CURRENTLY CLOSED.

The fort was started in 1819 and finished in 1826. It was built to withstand attack from land or sea. Moats surrounded the fort, and within the gates were a stronghold, service building and soldiers' quarters.

Hurricane Katrina exacerbated problems and destroyed adjacent state park buildings. The site is closed to visitors indefinitely.
