Summary

Description

Now a Coast Guard Station is sited here. <a href="http://www.nhstateparks.com/fortconstitution.html" rel="nofollow">www.nhstateparks.com/fortconstitution.html</a>

Fort Constitution, located in New Castle adjacent to the U.S. Coast Guard Station at the mouth of the Piscataqua River, is likely New Hampshire's most important and interesting military fortification. In December 1774 Paul Revere rode to Portsmouth from Boston to warn the colonists of British plans to reinforce the fort, to protect its store of powder. The colonists however surrounded the fort and seized light cannon and 97 barrels of gun powder. Many consider the attack to be the first overt act of the Revolution, and it's thought that some of the supplies were used in the Battle of Bunker Hill. Fort Constitution occupies three acres and includes Portsmouth Harbor Light
