Fort Laurens is the site of Ohio's Only Revolutionary War fort. Today, a small museum displays the stories of the soldiers stationed at the fort and their sacrifice. An outline of the fort remains. On-site there is a Tomb of the Unknown Patriot. Fort Laurens Museum is open seasonally May-October.
Fort Laurens was built in 1778 to serve as a launching pad to attack the British in Detroit and protect the neutral Delaware Indians. In total, 21 soldiers lost their lives here before it was abandoned in 1779. Fort Laurens’ Tomb of the Unknown Patriot is the final resting place of one of the fort’s soldiers who are unable to be identified. Highly recommend.
