FORT MIFFLIN

The British started to build this historic fort in 1772. It was completed in 1776 by the Revolutionary forces under the direction of Benjamin Franklin.

In 1777, 400 soldiers held off over 2,000 British troops and 250 ships for several days. Their stand allowed George Washington to retreat to Valley Forge.
