I often visit Fort Taber Park, as it has a nice beach and a nice area for walking around this old Fort which I almost always walk around when I visit the park
Also known as the Old Stone Fort, Fort Rodman (known as "Fort at Clark's Point" until 1898) began construction in 1857 under the third system of US fortifications, and in 1862 construction became overseen by Henry Robert, author of Robert's Rules of Order and an Army Corps of Engineers officer. The fort, as built, had emplacements for 72 cannon in three tiers; a fourth tier was originally planned, but this was removed from the design to allow more timely completion. Construction was halted in 1871, and the fort as planned was never completed.

The fort is closed off and not safe and hence never opened to the public, I would love to see it restored but I have not heard of any plans to do that

I have at times thought about buying a drone for some different perspectives but have never got one as I dont think I would use it much, but if I did I think here is the foirst spot I would visit getting some cool perpectives of the Fort and even flyingit down into the fort since we cannot get in there
