Description
Inside Gateway National Recreation Area's visitor center, exhibits detail the strategic role of Fort Wadsworth from the American Revolution through the Cold War. Ranger-led programming offers direct access to the site's history, from evening lantern tours to free weekday tours inside the fort during summer that show what active service felt like. Beyond the exhibits, the grounds provide space to sit back and take in views stretching across the water to Brooklyn, Manhattan, and New Jersey.
