Fort Hamilton, British military fort in Hamilton, Bermuda
Fort Hamilton stands on a hilltop at the eastern boundary of Hamilton, providing full views across the harbor and surrounding residential districts.
The British military constructed Fort Hamilton in 1888 to defend against potential American attacks following the Civil War, yet no shots were fired.
The Bermuda Pipe Band performs traditional Scottish ceremonies with Highland dancers each Monday from November through March within the fort grounds.
Fort Hamilton remains closed for renovations until summer 2025, after which visitors can explore the grounds between 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM daily.
The fort's dry moat transformed into botanical gardens in the 1960s, containing diverse plant species, bamboo groves, and palm trees.
