Fort Nathan Hale named for one of Connecticut's most famous patriots and native son Nathan Hale is located on Woodward Avenue on the east shore of the New Haven Harbor in the Morris Cove New Haven CT neighborhood.

This historic site is a 20 acre city park deeded to the State of Connecticut by an act of Congress in 1921 and was then turned over to the city of New Haven to maintain.

Within Fort Nathan Hale is Fort Nathan Hale Park and Black Rock Fort orginally built during the Revolutionary War period where visitors can tour a paritally restored Civil War facility and a Revolutionary Fort that was reconstructed in 1976 to commemorate the Bicentennial of our nation.

Fort Nathan was declared a landmark and historic site by the New Haven Preservation Trust and has the distinction to be the first so recognized in New Haven and was granted national recognition when the Department of the Interior placed Fort Nathan Hale on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.
