South end of Fort Street, Fairhaven
Fort Phoenix was built between 1775 and 1777 and was manned during the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. It was donated to the Town of Fairhaven through the generosity of Cara Rogers Broughton, "Lady Fairhaven" of England, a daughter of Henry H. Rogers. Twice a year the Fairhaven Village Militia holds historical encampments at Fort Phoenix. On most Friday mornings in June, July, August & September the Fairhaven Office of Tourism puts on a free "Pirates and Privateers" program.
