Fort Constitution New Castle New Hampshire
Fort Constitution is a historical site located in New Castle NH and is open to the public. The fort is rich in history, most notably for back in December of 1774, when Paul Revere rode to Portsmouth from Boston to warn the colonists of the British Governments plans to reinforce what was then known as Fort William and Mary.
The colonists ended up raiding the fort and successfully took all or most of the supplies. Many people actually think that this was one of the first battles of the American Revolution. After the Revolutionary War the fort became known as Fort Constitution and today offers free self guided tours. The location is perfect with the Piscataqua River on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. 
It was bitterly cold and windy out the day we visited and not hard for us to imagine what life was like for those early colonists. The Fort itself is in ruins but you can still see and explore the remains of the fort and at set times you can tour Portsmouth Harbor Lighthouse. When arriving just be sure you follow the “blue” line to do the self guided tour as this is an active coast guard station with many “off Limit” sections. I hope the two videos that I shot give you an idea what this historical fort is like and someday you get to enjoy it in person.
Living in New Hampshire is extra special with many historical sites and sweet spots… enjoy the videos.
