Fort Frederick 2010
Maryland

Fort Frederick was built in 1756 to defend Maryland's western frontier and restored by the CCC to be the centerpiece of a large state park.

Fort Wall Barracks Fort Interior

The CCC rebuilt the fort wall and interior buildings like 1758.

CCC Buildings CCC Buildings

As with all of their projects the CCC created a lot of very nice enduring facilities for the park.

Pond

Getting away from the attractions we managed to hike some of the trails available in the park and I really liked the sharp reflections on this very still pond. I would have appreciated a little less dense cloud cover but the pond is short enough to avoid seeing haze and smog.
