Fort Howard was a 19th-century fortification built by the United States Army and located along the west bank of the Fox River (Wisconsin) in Green Bay, Wisconsin.〔(Fort Edward August )〕 Fort Howard, along with Fort Crawford at Prairie du Chien,was constructed during the War of 1812 to protect the Fox-Wisconsin Waterway, an important regional trade and travel route between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River, from British invasion. The fort was built at the site of the earlier French Fort La Baye (and renamed Fort Edward Augustus by the British in 1761). During an outbreak of malaria in 1820, the garrison moved to Camp Smith on higher ground nearby. Fort Howard was reoccupied two years later. Abandoned again in 1841, when the garrison was sent to Florida during the Seminole Wars, the fort was officially decommissioned in 1853. Following the fort's closure its buildings fell into decay. Several structures were subsequently removed to the Camp Smith site, where they are now part of the Heritage Hill State Historical Park. Three of the fort's remaining structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the hospital, hospital ward, and Officer's quarters. ==Images== File:Fort Howard Company Kitchen and Orderly Room Heritage Hill State Historical Park.jpg|Kitchen File:Fort Howard Hospital Restorations June 2014.jpg|Hospital during 2014 restoration File:FortHowardOfficersQuartersDiningArea.jpg|Dining area in Officers' Quarters File:Fort Howard Officers Quarters June 2014 at Heritage Hill State Historic Park.jpg|Side of Officers' Quarters File:FortHowardPanoramaSoutheast.jpg|Looking southeast at courtyard File:FortHowardYardPanoramaNorthwest.jpg|Looking northwest across courtyard File:Fort Howard Post School June 2014 Heritage Hill State Historical Park.jpg|School File:FortHowardHospitalWardHeritageHill.jpg|Ward File:Guard House from Fort Howard during 2014 construction at Heritage Hill State Historical Park.jpg|Guard house during 2014 reconstruction 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fort Howard (Wisconsin)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
