Fort Drummond, Military fort in Whitney Bay, Michigan, US
Fort Drummond extends over 84 acres on the western end of Drummond Island, featuring remnants of structural foundations, wells, and a military cemetery.
British forces constructed Fort Drummond in 1815 after leaving Fort Mackinac, making it the final British military installation established on American territory following the War of 1812.
The fort grounds contain a cemetery with approximately 300 graves, marking the final resting place of soldiers and civilians who lived at the settlement.
The fort site remains privately owned and visitors can only view the historic structures and foundations from boats on Whitney Bay.
Lieutenant Colonel Robert McDonall transferred 350 personnel to construct this fort while uncertain about territorial claims, leading to limited investment in permanent structures.
