FORT CONDE'

Fort Conde is a partially reconstructed French Fort originally built in the early 1700's, which served as headquarters for colonial Governments of the French, British, & Spanish. In the mid I 800's after being seized by America, Congress declared the fort surplus and it was destroyed. The Fort today stands on the original site and is one third the original size. Tour the fort, a museum, and hold your ears when the French Soldier shoot their muskets.

FORT GAINES HISTORICAL SITE

Ft. Gaines is located on historic Dauphin Island overlooking Mobile Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The island and the bay were mapped as early as 1519. The island was later colonized by the French and named Dauphine Island in 1707.  During the next century, control of this strategic location switched from France to Great Britian to Spain and finally in 1813 the U. S. seized the area. Construction of the fort began in 1812 and was completed in 1858. The design incorporated the most advanced ideas in military architecture at that time.  While touring the fort today you can touch the cannons used during the Civil War, view the harbor as soldiers did and see where they lived and worked, explore the tunnels and bastions, the officer's quarters and the museum.
