Fort de Chartres
As seen from the highway, north of the compound.
As seen from the back parking lot entrance, looking NE.
Above is one of the foundations from barracks, etc. This view is from the S looking N.
A few of the smaller "wells" were quite deep, and are believed to be storage cellar.
Picture below (contributed by Ray Smith) is taken from the N looking S, of the same foundation.
The restored powder magazine, the only surviving structure of the fort.
Above, one of the cannons on display. (photo contributed by Ray Smith) It is fired during the re-inactments, usually scaring people, as it is QUITE loud! On the right, the Mess Hall.
Above is officers building, now the museum (photo contributed by Ray Smith).
