Arts & Attractions Fort Wadsworth

Fort Wadsworth located on the northeastern tip of Staten Island at end of Bay Street, adjacent to the Verrazano Bridge. Easily accessible by either bus or taxi, prepare to take a journey through time as you bear witness to one of America’s oldest and most historic military installations.

Taking a tour of the fortifications provides an exceptional look at part of the critical system that protected New York Harbor for centuries. You may walk through its catacomb-like passageways and see what it was like to be a defender in the 18th Century.

The new visitor center provides background information about the site's history and strategic location in New York Harbor. Self-guided and ranger-led tours of the historic fortifications are available.

Drag the street view to look around 360°.

@Melethonomia Well, it is interesting…for an insect. 14 Hours Ago

@TOAD__MODE The rosy maple moth lives across much of the eastern United States and Canada. This extends south along the Atlantic coast to Florida and extends west from eastern Texas up through Minnesota. 17 Hours Ago

So, you agree? You think you're really pretty?" The Rosy Maple Moth is the smallest of the silk moths. They're distinguishable by their yellow and pink coloration of varying intensity. Their preferred host trees are sugar, red, and silver maples. Hence the name Rosy Maple Moths. 17 Hours Ago
