Fort Brady History

P20180626011.JPG

From 1893 to 1944, our campus was a military installation called (New) Fort Brady.  Originally comprised of 64 buildings, the Fort housed soldiers whose main mission was to protect the Soo Locks and its canals.  At its peak during World War II, up to 15,000 soldiers called Fort Brady home.  Fourteen of the original buildings still exist on our campus, including the Row Houses, the Fletcher Center, and the East Gate and Gatehouse.  The Fort was decommissioned after World War II and given to the Michigan College of Mining and Technology, now Michigan Technological University.
How many of our current buildings can you spot in these pictures?
