About Fort Morris Historic Site

Fort Morris sits on a bluff above the Medway River near Sunbury. Patriot forces held the position during the Revolution, and the British captured it in 1779. Later, under the name Fort Defiance, it helped guard the harbor during the War of 1812. Visitors can walk the earthworks, look out over Saint Catherines Sound, and visit a museum and film about the colonial port of Sunbury. The grounds also suit birdwatching, with a birding trail and many coastal species to spot.
