Fort Revere, Military fort in Hull, Massachusetts, US
Fort Revere encompasses 8 acres of coastal defense structures on Telegraph Hill, featuring military fortifications and a prominent water tower observation deck.
Patriots established the fort in 1776 during the American Revolution, initially naming it Fort Independence before French Marines expanded it to accommodate 22 guns.
The Fort Revere Park and Preservation Society maintains the military history museum, documenting the evolution of coastal defense systems through multiple wars.

Two separate seacoast fortifications from different periods stand within the park grounds, including Battery Ripley with its original 12-inch gun installations.
