Description: Fort Mifflin, located on Mud Island along the Delaware River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is a historic military fortification originally built by the British in the 1770s. It played a crucial role during the American Revolutionary War, particularly in the fall of 1777, when American forces used it to delay British naval support to their troops occupying Philadelphia. Despite being heavily bombarded and eventually captured by the British, the fort's defense provided valuable time for General George Washington's army. Today, Fort Mifflin is a National Historic Landmark and serves as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into its storied past through tours, reenactments, and educational programs.
