FortWiki.com is dedicated to documenting the historical forts, camps and stations that provided security and protection for the United States and Canada.

The goal is to combine the known public information about the forts, stations and batteries with detailed information from individual family histories and genealogies that may not be public. These histories and genealogies are rich with details about ancestors who lived, worked and fought at these forts and stations.
