The fort was originally constructed between 1898 and 1917, and operated as an active Army base until 1953 before it was purchased by the state and converted into a juvenile detention facility. In 1971 the Fort and its hidden gun emplacements, expansive parade lawns and Victorian-era Officers homes were transferred to Washington State Parks, and two years later Fort Worden State Park was officially opened to the public. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f7547f096d0d45d8774660c/1601521656051/ History https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f754878883c6055aa0b15ef/1601566205626/ History Battery Plan — Cornelius Tolles at Fort Worden Washington https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f7546e60cb6f82db9245c8d/1601566126068/_Plan.jpg History Battery Plan — Augustus Quarles at Fort Worden Washington https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f75479e0dd0c87c41968287/1601521578193/_Photo.jpg History https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f75482e05a7793966bec92d/1601566188424/ History Battery Plan — John Brannan at Fort Worden Washington https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f7548b47a7dba1ef4c5bfda/1601566219631/_Plan.jpg History Battery Plan — Samuel Walker at Fort Worden Washington https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f7546858036587780a62041/1601521295211/_Photo.jpg History https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f7547490cb6f82db92467d3/1601566141384/_Plan.jpg History Battery Plan — Joseph Ash at Fort Worden Washington https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f75476a96d0d45d87744dca/1601521522017/ History https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f75454e167d56560cdbc154/1601566073538/_Plan.jpg History Battery Plan — Kinzie at Fort Worden Washington https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f75491a78c626590e9a739b/1601566233347/ History Searchlight Plan — Searchlight #4 at Fort Worden Washington https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f75492fb4743f3d86aa2bc8/1601521974924/ History https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f75448ff9968a437d334ff8/1601520808359/_Photo.jpg History https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f7547060df493541c57e90a/1601521419127/ History https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f7548cad134f3794c9c1077/1601521908983/_Photo.jpg History https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5f752470f5ce7b2bd8b26539/t/5f754672753f9f3986ae3bb7/1601566096587/_Plan.jpg History Battery Plan — Amos Stoddard at Fort Worden Washington
