Fort Clinch, Coastal fortification in Nassau County, United States.
Fort Clinch stands as a pentagonal masonry structure with five corner bastions, containing barracks and a warehouse within its brick walls.
Built between 1847 and 1867, the fort changed control between Confederate and Union forces during the American Civil War in 1862.
The fort maintains daily military reenactments where interpreters demonstrate 1860s soldier activities in period uniforms at multiple garrison posts.
Visitors can explore the fort's restored buildings, including two-story barracks, prison cells, and guardhouse through guided or self-guided tours.
The fort contains almost five million bricks in its construction and features 70 artillery mounting positions along its defensive walls.
