Sometimes called “the fort that never fired a shot in anger," Fort Point is one of GGNRA’s magnificent treasures. On this walk, retired park ranger and historian John Martini reveals the story of the fort’s construction, its stunning architecture, soldier life during the Civil War, the fort's rescue when the Golden Gate Bridge threatened it with demolition, and its restoration as a National Historic Site.
