Fort Firelands
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fort Firelands is a recreation of an 1800s style frontier fort and is located in Lakeside-Marblehead, Ohio.
The fort complex which was built around 1968 is a full-scale recreation of an early 1800s frontier-style fort. Stockade fencing, corner blockhouses with gun ports and barracks were included in the original construction.
A pioneer village and early western-style museum were some of the original attractions. Today, what remains of the original structures are being repaired and rehabilitated.
An RV Resort is located behind the fort complex.
Renewed interest in the unique, neo-historical structure is being shown and events are again to be held in the fort complex. Several postcards were issued that illustrate the initial construction.
