Built in 1834, Fort Morgan has withstood four wars: the Civil War, Spanish-American War, and World War 1 and 2. The majority of the fort is still in original condition minus a few war wounds. It was most famous for the Battle of Mobile Bay where the union admiral David Farragut had his most famous command, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!” You can learn more of these interesting facts at the on-site Historical Museum.
