Fort Necessity is located on a National Battlefield. It's a reconstructed fort that is a reimagination of the fort constructed by a young Lieutenant Colonel named George Washington.

Washington marched his men out of the flimsy circular structure in 1754 and into battle against the French, this battle is known as the Battle of Fort Necessity.
