This Is The Place Fort

Have you ever built a fort to play or hide in? Maybe you made it from blankets or old boxes? Regardless of what materials you might use, forts and fort-building have been a part of human history for thousands of years. Whether a medieval castle or city wall, humans have built forts as places of safety, for trade and commerce, or as a foundation for civilization and government. These early settlements often grew to become large, prosperous communities and cities.
