Fort King George, Colonial fort in Scarborough, Trinidad and Tobago
Fort King George stands on a hilltop location overlooking Scarborough Harbor, featuring former military barracks, officer quarters, and defensive structures from the 1770s.
British forces constructed the fortification in 1777 under Lord George Macartney's direction, though French troops captured and controlled it between 1781 and 1793.
The Tobago Museum, situated in the former Barrack Guard House, exhibits Amerindian artifacts, colonial documents, military relics, and traditional items from different periods.
The fort complex remains open to visitors from Monday through Friday between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM, with guided tours explaining the military architecture.
A nineteenth-century bell tank used for prisoner containment remains preserved within the fort grounds, demonstrating colonial military practices of that period.
