Travel Back in History at Louisiana's Fort Jackson

From the May 2, 2018, WGNO ABC "Travel Back in time to historical Fort Jackson" Klusby.

Fort Jackson is located near Triumph, Louisiana, at the edge of the Mississippi River.  Most people don't even know it is there and in very good shape.

It was built in 1822 and named after Andrew Jackson.  From the fort, artillery fire could be directed at enemy ships from the time they got to a curve in the river.

There is also a new Fort Jackson Museum which has artifacts from Andrew Jackson and neighboring Fort St. Phillip.

There is hope that the fort becomes a national park.   This would help draw people and tourist dollars to the area.
