Fort Milford
The present Fort Milford at Crown Point was built in 1811 and served until the British army left Tobago in 1854.
The site itself may have been used for a settlement of Dutch in 1642. It took on a military role between 1770-81 as a British cannon battery which ceased when the French took Tobago.
