On April 27, 2017, I posted about the surrender of this fort in Louisiana on April 27, 1862. . I had never heard of it before. I was familiar with Forts Jackson and St. Philip, but not this one.
From Wikipedia.
Fort Livingston is a 19th century coastal defense fort located at Grand Terre Island in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana. It was named for Edward Livingston, one-time mayor of New York City, U.S. senator from Louisiana and U.S. Secretary of State under President Andrew Jackson.
It was listed on the NRHP in 1974.
Today, part of the fort still stands but is mostly in ruins.
