The only fort built by the American Continental Army in what is now Ohio, Fort Laurens is the site of a museum and the Tomb of Ohio’s Unknown Patriot—a memorial to the heroes of the American Revolution.

The work has included archaeological surveys, exterior and interior repairs, and exhibit improvements. During fiscal year 2008, a trail through the park was completed using state and private funds.
