Fort Nathan Hale, Military fort in New Haven, Connecticut.
Fort Nathan Hale extends across 20 acres on the east shore of New Haven Harbor, featuring multiple defensive structures from different time periods.
The original fort from 1776 protected New Haven from British naval attacks until its capture in 1779, when British forces set fire to the barracks.
Educational programs throughout the year teach local students about Revolutionary War history and the contributions of Connecticut state hero Nathan Hale.
The visitor center operates Wednesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 4 PM during summer months, with free admission and self-guided tour materials.
The site contains three distinct fortifications: a 1659 colonial structure, a Revolutionary War fort, and a Civil War installation with 18 mounted guns.
