Fort Roberdeau, Revolutionary War fort and museum in Blair County, Pennsylvania.
Fort Roberdeau features reconstructed buildings including officers' quarters, barracks, a blacksmith shop, a storehouse, and a powder magazine within wooden walls.
General Daniel Roberdeau constructed this fortification in 1778 to protect lead mining operations that supplied ammunition materials to the Continental Army.
Period-costumed guides lead educational tours through the fort's structures, demonstrating military life and lead mining activities from the Revolutionary period.
The fort welcomes visitors from May through October, Monday to Saturday 10 AM to 4 PM and Sunday 1 PM to 4 PM, with admission fees collected at entry.
The Mt. Lion Observatory, established in 2018 within the fort's 230-acre grounds, allows visitors to combine historical exploration with astronomical observations.
