Fort Jackson, Historic masonry fort in Triumph, United States
Fort Jackson stands on the western bank of the Mississippi River, featuring thick stone walls and military architecture from the early 19th century.
Constructed between 1822 and 1832, Fort Jackson played a central role in defending New Orleans during the American Civil War in April 1862.
The fort now functions as a museum displaying military artifacts and educational materials that document Louisiana's defensive history along the Mississippi River.
The Fort Jackson Museum and Welcome Center operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, located on Louisiana Highway 23.
French champagne producer Charles Heidsieck spent seven months imprisoned at Fort Jackson under espionage charges during the Civil War period.
