While the U.S. Army Reserve continues to maintain a presence at the fort, the property is now owned by the City of New York.

Famous quotes containing the word fort:
“The newspapers are the ruling power. Any other government is reduced to a few marines at Fort Independence. If a man neglects to read the Daily Times, government will go down on its knees to him, for this is the only treason these days.”
