FORT TAYLOR
The U. S. Army began construction of Fort Taylor in 1845. With secession and the beginning of war in 1861, Fort Taylor remained under federal control. It served as the headquarters for the Federal Navy's East Gulf Coast Blockading Squadron. The fort stayed on "active duty" status through 1947. Today, the fort is a National Historic Landmark containing the largest cache of Civil War-era seacoast cannons in the United States.
