Fort Morgan, Military fort in Mobile Point, United States.
Fort Morgan stands at the western entrance of Mobile Bay, with pentagonal masonry walls rising 20 feet above water level, guarding the maritime routes.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers constructed Fort Morgan between 1819 and 1833 to protect Mobile Bay from naval threats through the Gulf of Mexico.
The fort museum exhibits feature military artifacts, period weapons, and detailed information about the Battle of Mobile Bay during the American Civil War.
Visitors can access Fort Morgan daily from 8 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours departing from the visitor center every two hours throughout the day.
The Mobile Point peninsula near Fort Morgan contains protected habitats for migratory birds and sea turtles nesting along its natural beaches.
