Fort Macon State Park

Built in 1826-34 by Lieutenant Robert E. Lee, five-sided Fort Macon is constructed of brick and stone. The twenty-six vaulted rooms, also known as casements, are enclosed by outer walls over four feet thick. Other features include powder magazines, counter fire rooms with cannon emplacements, and a wide moat which served to protect the fort when flooded with waters from Bogue Sound. An inner court or parade ground is often the scene of historic re-enactments. Visitors can join a guided tour of the fort or conduct their own following the printed guide available at the bookstore. The fort also includes a museum and restored rooms.
