Forts visited or worth visiting
What are some forts you have visited that were interesting or worth seeing again. Any type of fort. There are two that I know of in Michigan. I'd recommend both. Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island ...

Fort Ticonderoga and Ft Stockton(TX) are both worth a stop if you are near. Ft Apache (AZ near Chiricauhua NM) itself is nothing except a couple of rocks but the graves around it are fascinating: "Here lays Pvt Smith killed by Apaches. Age 18" and so on. Not a healthy spot.
Ditto on: Castilio de San Marcos: Saint Augustine, FL, and Fort Matansas especially if they fire a gun. Not a fort but they have a great demo of firing muskets at Concord and Lexington NP. If you are interested in old weapons they have a museum at Kennesaw Mountain (N of Atlanta) with a huge number of guns.
