Fort Zachary Taylor
Location: Key West, Florida
Date: January 4, 2014
Fort Zachary Taylor in Key West was built starting in 1845 and was used heavily by the Union during the Civil War and again during the Spanish-American War. Today the fort is a state park, and you can walk into, on top of, and around the fort on your own. The fort was originally surrounded by water, but now a moat is along its southwest side, and there is a public beach on land on the land that has since filled in around it. I didn't stay very long thanks to rain, but there were a number of non-native iguanas on the fort.
