POTD: Fort Mason

Fort Mason, which overlooks Mason from its hilltop perch, was abandoned in 1869 after serving its role to defend the region. Little by little, the dark stone used in the construction of the fort was carted off and used to build area buildings. Today you’ll still see the foundations of many of the old buildings up here on Post Hill and this officers’ quarters has been reconstructed on its original foundations. The fort makes a great lookout at the region.
