Fort Necessity Then
Fort Necessity was constructed on May 14, 1754 in present day Uniontown, PA. Lieutentant Colonel George Washington was sent by Virginia Govenor Robert Dinwiddie to construct the fort to support the effort at the Forks of The Ohio River(Pittsburgh, PA).
Present Day Fort Necessity
In 1954, National Park Services reconstructed Fort Necessity. In the Picture to the left the gray lines represent where the Fort had been reconstructed. After researching the fort more National Park Services realized that the fort was only the dark black circle. The gray lines actually represent the two-foot deep bunker the British used to take cover in during the battle.
