There’s no gold at Maine’s Fort Knox, it’s just a defensive fortification to protect the coastline:
The real punchline of this lovingly preserved historical site, however, is that . . . no historical events of any kind occurred here. No battles. No nothing. Troops were never even really sent to staff it. It was built, it’s a great example of the fortification architecture of the period, and it features really great views. But nothing happened. At all.
