点评:Planning a road trip through Toledo, Ohio, I noticed this historic site and decided to stop by. It was a wise decision. This fort is a lot less "glamorous" than the forts at Mackinac, MI, but it was absolutely essential to the ability of the U.S. to prevail in the War of 1812. For a most memorable visit, make sure you can take one of the included tours by costumed interpreters. Our guide was great and I learned so much. The tours are provided twice per day, so check the schedule and try to be there for a tour. There is also a museum that highlights the key events of the war. There are convenient rest rooms as well. The main buildings of the fort are blockhouses with informative displays. You'll learn why there are no other "buildings" unlike other forts.
The fort is little known today but was pivotal in 1813, and you owe it to yourself to learn why that is. I would allow about 2 hours to see everything.

这座堡垒如今鲜为人知,但在1813年却发挥了关键作用,您有责任了解其中的原因。我建议预留大约2个小时来参观所有景点。
