Fort Foster, Military historic site in Pasco County, Florida, US.

Fort Foster contains two blockhouses, a large storehouse, and fortifications positioned strategically along the Hillsborough River in central Florida.

Lieutenant Colonel William S. Foster established this military outpost in December 1836, rebuilding it at the location of the previously destroyed Fort Alabama.

The fort represents a significant period of military operations during the Second Seminole War, with architectural elements reflecting 19th-century defensive construction methods.

Visitors can access the fort through Hillsborough River State Park, where guided tours provide information about the military structures and historical events.

The fort maintained a substantial arsenal including a six-pounder gun and a twelve-pound howitzer, with capacity for tens of thousands of ammunition rounds.
