Fort Duffield, Civil War fortification in West Point, Kentucky.
Fort Duffield extends 1,000 feet along Pearman Hill, featuring earthen walls and structures that served as defensive military positions during wartime.
The 9th Michigan Infantry began construction of Fort Duffield in November 1861 following Confederate occupation of Columbus, establishing it as Kentucky's first Union fortification.
The Memorial Hill cemetery contains the final resting place of thirty-nine soldiers from the Ninth Michigan who died while constructing the fortification.
The site offers 10 miles of mountain biking and hiking trails, with free admission and picnic areas throughout the grounds.
The fort stands as Kentucky's largest earthwork fortification, maintaining its original defensive structures from the American Civil War period.
