Fort Frederick, Grenada, WI

We've made arrangements with our housekeeper to cook some traditional Caribbean meals for us the next 3 nights, so after she finished her work at the cottages today, we took her the the market to select the food that she'll need. Afterwards we told her we would take her to her home so she wouldn't have to ride the local buses. Not far from her home, she took us to Fort Frederick to view the sunset. Well, with all the clouds, there wasn't much of a sunset, but I was able to take lots of pictures from the fort, which is on top of the highest mountain overlooking the St. George's area.

Instead of me trying to write down the history of Fort Frederick, I took pictures of the plaques around the fort so you could read first hand what I read. Some of the words on the plaques are hard to read due to damage to the plaques. Just click on the plaques and it will enlarge well enough to read.


The following pictures are views taken of the surrounding area looking from the fort. From these views, you will be able to see how this fort was an advantage point to protect the St. George's area.
