Fort Mifflin

"This is a fun place to spend time before a flight in Philly. It is on the smaller scale but doesn't subtract from the fun. The exhibit set up in the building is setup really nice and I enjoyed looking at it. I hope to make it to one of the reenactments there one year."

"This is a very underappreciated location. Lots to see there ,full of history. We went there on a Friday and we were the only visitors. The woman working the welcome center was very informative and helpful. We were able to explore most of the buildings on our own. This fort seems to be in disrepair but kind of added a ruins aspect to it. Would definitely go back ."

"This is a place for nerds. If you’re a nerd you will love it. If not, you’ll get bored quickly. We saw a revolutionary war battle re-enactment here and it was exciting. Lots of people dressed in the spirit of things. Speaking of spirits — it’s said this place was haunted by POWs that were housed here. TBH I suspect it was carbon monoxide poisoning because I got light headed after being in the barracks with poor ventilation and a big fire in the fireplace. A run place to run around."

"We just discovered this historic gem overlooking the Delaware River by the airport. We came to see the fort in daylight and returned for the evening Ghost Tour, which was excellent! Discovered that this was a British fort captured by Revolutionary patriots. Fort Mifflin played an important role in protecting Philadelphia during the Revolution and thereafter. The costumed interpretive guides were great at answering our questions. You can wander the grounds and enjoy river views by walking along the wall. Some of our night visit photos caught flickering lights. In my Casemate 5 wall photo, I swear there's an image of a face on the wall."

"Absolutely worth visiting if you're into historical landmarks and/or haunted places. Some of the areas are SUPER creepy, while other scenes are just so serene and beautiful. The energy shifts around each bend. :) Matt at the desk was friendly, good with the kids and very knowledgeable! The fort is awesome to walk around. Me and my kids did a self guided tour with our own emf readers in hand, which we loved having the place almost to ourselves in the mid week, although I would love to and plan to attend an event there sometime soon to experience it that way as well, at night, minus the children!"
