Fort Wadsworth is an old military fort near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge by New York Bay. It's one of the oldest forts in the country. Since 1994, it's been a public park managed by the National Parks Service. If you are interested in historic places to visit, then this place will surely be worth a visit. This historic place has great views of Manhattan and Brooklyn. You can join guided tours to see Battery Weed and Fort Tompkins, which are old forts from the 1800s. If you want to camp there, you can pay and make a reservation. In the summer, the National Park Service hires goats to help clean up the area around the fort, so you might see them too. Do you know of other places that employ goats?
