Fort Totten Historical Marker, located in New Bern, NC, commemorates one of the forts constructed by Union forces following their capture of the town in March 1862. Named after Union General Joseph Gilbert Totten, the fort played a strategic role in the Civil War, aiding the Union in gaining control of North Carolina's coastal areas and the Neuse River.
Today, Fort Totten is transformed into a family park, encompassing a five-and-a-half-acre site that features a lighted softball field, playgrounds, picnic shelters, grills, and restroom facilities. This historical landmark serves as a recreational area while honoring its significant military past.
