Fort Gratiot, Military fort at Port Huron, United States.
Fort Gratiot stands at the meeting point of Lake Huron and Saint Clair River, featuring a strategic military position with clear views of maritime traffic.
The United States Army constructed Fort Gratiot in 1814 during the War of 1812 to guard the waterway between Lake Huron and the Saint Clair River.
The fort represents early American military architecture and defense strategy, with its design reflecting the needs of frontier fortifications in the Great Lakes region.
The grounds of the former fort now constitute part of Pine Grove Park, allowing visitors to explore the archaeological remains and historical markers.
Archaeological investigations in the 1980s revealed multiple construction phases, including the original stockade and later timber-framed structures such as a hospital.
