Fort Gaines
|
| Fort Gaines, constructed in the 1850's, was designed by Joseph G. Totten. Totten was, along with Simon Bernard, one of the original members of the board of engineers placed in charge of fortifications. Totten designed many of the later fortifications of the Third System, and was the foremost fortification engineer in the United States during this time. Fort Gaines shows a different design philosophy than many of the earlier fortifications, and is much simpler than many of the Third System forts. |

Fort Morgan
|
| Fort Morgan was constructed from 1819-1834 as part of the defenses of Mobile Bay. Fort Morgan, like Fort Pickens at Pensacola, was designed by the French military engineer Simon Bernard, who had been hired by the United States as a consultant and appointed to the board of engineers. The early Third System fortifications show the influence of the French school of design, whose most notable member was Vauban. However, the primary mission of defending a harbor, rather than their own location, led to characteristics which make them a uniquely American type of fortification.

Noccalula Falls Park & Campground
|
| Legend has it that the breathtaking beauty of the 100’ waterfall in this Alabama park does not compare to the beauty of the Indian girl for which it is named, Noccalula. According to the story, Noccalula flung herself over the rushing waters of the falls rather than betray her true love and marry a man of her father’s choosing. Grief-stricken, her father gave the natural wonder his daughter’s name and it is now known as Noccalula Falls.
