Called “the fort that never fired a shot in anger,” Fort Point is one of San Francisco’s magnificent but near-hidden treasures. In this online illustrated talk hosted by Western Neighborhoods Project (WNP), author and historian John Martini reveals the stories of the fort’s construction, soldiers’ lives during the Civil War, the fort’s stunning architecture, its rescue when the Golden Gate Bridge threatened its demolition, and its restoration as a National Historic Site.
