Abstract:
In 1947, the military once again deserted Fort Macon and the historic work was turned over to the Division of Forestry and Parks, which planned to reopen the fort as a park. Brig. General Simon Bernard, Napoleon's military engineer, designed the fort and construction began in 1826. In 1862, Fort Macon fell to General Burnside's Union troops in battle during the Civil War.
