Fort Stark, New Castle NH
Explored: April 3rd 2018
Fort Stark is a former military fortification in New Castle, New Hampshire, United States. Located at Jerry's Point (also called Jaffrey's Point) on the southeastern tip of New Castle Island, most of the surviving fort was developed in the early 20th century, following the Spanish–American War, although there were several earlier fortifications on the site, portions of which survive. The fort was named for John Stark, a New Hampshire officer who distinguished himself at the Battle of Bennington in the American Revolution. The purpose of Fort Stark was to defend the harbor of nearby Portsmouth and the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The fort remained in active use through the Second World War, after which it was used for reserve training by the US Navy. The property was partially turned over to the state of New Hampshire in 1979, which established Fort Stark Historic Site, and the remainder of the property was turned over in 1983.
At Jerry's Point there is evidence of earthwork fortification, circa 1842, and a stonework fort, circa 1873. Following the Spanish American War (1898) the improved defense of key harbors became a national priority. Fortifications such as Fort Stark were constructed on both coasts during the Endicott Period (1890-1920) and at Forts Constitution, McClary and Foster. The basic defense concept was to mine the harbor entrances and erect gun batteries. No shots were ever fired in anger.
The white building within the fort (World War II Harbor Entrance Control Post) which is disguised to look like a mansion from sea is off-limits to all park guests due to unprotected stairs, high walls, rough ground, and the results of years of neglect and vandalism. The building is surrounded by a large barbed-wire fence and posted with ‘NO TRESPASSING” signs. Trespassers will be arrested if caught.

In May of 2013 Teenagers taking a day off from school on “Senior Skip Day” made a ghastly discovery when they found the body of a man down a shaft at Fort Stark. Police Chief Don White confirmed that a body of a man between the ages of 29 and 35 was found down a 15-foot ammunition elevator shaft at the fort. The teenagers were exploring the fort when they noticed a duffel bag and a rope leading down the shaft. The police chief said what he saw shocked him. The man’s hands appeared to be behind his back and a chair was knocked down nearby.

originally inhabited by two major Native American tribes ), much of the territory that is now Vermont was claimed by France during its early colonial period. France ceded the territory to the Kingdom of Great Britain after being defeated in 1763 in the Seven Years' War (in the United States, referred to as the French and Indian War). For many years, the nearby colonies, especially New Hampshire and New York, disputed control of the area (then called the New Hampshire Grants). Settlers who held land titles granted by these colonies were opposed by the Green Mountain Boys militia, which eventually prevailed in creating an independent state, the Vermont Republic. Founded in 1777 during the Revolutionary War, the republic lasted for fourteen years. Aside from the Thirteen Colonies, Vermont is one of only four U.S. states (along with Texas, Hawaii, and California) to have been a sovereign state in its past. In 1791, Vermont joined the United States as the 14th state, the first in addition to the original 13 colonies. Vermont was the first state to partially abolish slavery while still independent.
