Fort Gaines

Exit78 Photo of the Day #66

Seven years ago, on the 4th of July holiday weekend, we took a short duration trip down to the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, with most of our time spent in Mississippi, though we did get to a part of Alabama and even a little bit of Florida.

Fort Gaines (Wikipedia) is an historic fort on Dauphin Island, Alabama. It was named for Edmund Pendleton Gaines. Established in 1821, it is best known for its role in the Battle of Mobile Bay during the American Civil War.
