Fort Laurens, Revolutionary War fort in Bolivar, United States
The fort site contains a museum displaying military artifacts, archaeological findings, and educational exhibits about frontier life during the Revolutionary War period.
Built in 1778 by General Lachlan McIntosh, Fort Laurens served as a strategic outpost for the Continental Army against British forces based in Detroit.
The grounds feature the Tomb of the Unknown Patriot of the American Revolution, established in 1976 by the Ohio National Guard.
The museum operates from May through October, with extended hours during summer months and includes access to the Ohio and Erie Canal Towpath Trail.
Twenty-one soldiers died defending this frontier outpost, and their remains rest in a dedicated crypt within the museum walls.
