There are two retired forts, Fort Getty and Fort Wetherill that I know of, but never heard of that one. That sounds like something the Federal Government does when it is done with a fort. :-) Of course, I might be wrong.

Working from memory here so ...... ????? Ft Dumpling was a REVOLUTIONARY WAR fort on Connanicut Island ( Jamestown is a town on that island ). The Jamestown Historical Society has a red brick from Ft Dumpling with the fort painted on it by an unknown artist that was a doorstop in my grandfathers house for several years. I donated it to them for their museum while my uncle ( a Jamestown resident ) was curator some years ago.
