In this present year of 1777, when the fate of a young nation hangs in the balance, we invite you to step beyond the telling of history and enter the moment itself. Come, if you will, and witness the courage, uncertainty, sacrifice, and resolve of those who stood upon the Delaware in defense of American liberty. Two works await you—each a passage into another time, where the echoes of the Revolution yet endure. Enter, and experience the story of Fort Mifflin as though the year were 1777.

The year is 1777, and the struggle for American independence has entered a fearful hour. As the British hold Philadelphia, a small American garrison stands upon the Delaware, refusing to yield while the enemy closes in. Day and night, the guns thunder, the river carries the sound of war, and within the fort, men face the uncertainty of what the morrow may bring. Yet amid the smoke and shot, there remains a stubborn resolve—that liberty, once taken up, shall not be surrendered lightly. The Siege calls you to step into this hour of trial and witness a chapter of the American Revolution where courage was measured not by the absence of fear, but by the will to stand against it.

CROSS INTO 1777
FIRST TIME AT THE FORT?

It is November of 1777, and upon the Delaware stands a lonely fortress between a besieging enemy and the fate of Philadelphia. Within its walls are men who have chosen duty over comfort, courage over fear, and liberty over surrender. The cannon speaks, the river runs dark, and the hours grow heavy as the enemy draws near. Yet war is not measured by cannon alone, but by the resolve of those who stand when retreat would be easier. The Fort Mifflin Collection invites you to cross the threshold and behold Fort Mifflin not merely as a place of history, but as it might have appeared to those who endured its trial—a fortress surrounded, a nation struggling to be born, and a moment in the American Revolution that would not soon be forgotten.
