Fort Stark State Historic Site Details
This former military fortification is located on the southern corner of New Castle Island. It was built in the mid-1700s, although much of the current structure you see was built in the early 20th century after the Spanish American War. It was used by the military until the end of the Second World War when it was handed over to the US Navy to become a training facility. There are plenty of historic structures to see on the property, including the Ordinance Machine Shop, the Battery David Hunter, and the Oil Storage House. You will also be treated to sweeping views of the Atlantic and Piscataqua River as you look over the peninsula.
