Fort Anderson

Fort Anderson was a Union military fort built during the American Civil War in North Carolina to control the inland waterway and protect supply routes. Located near the Cape Fear River, it served as a strategic stronghold for Union forces in the region. The fort was constructed from earthworks and used to support military operations, including blocking Confederate access and facilitating Union advances. Today, the site is a historic landmark and state park, where visitors can learn about Civil War history through preserved structures and interpretive exhibits.
