In the United States, Fort Ord is available for visiting. It was built in 1917 and used for military purposes until 1994. Some of the buildings of the fort were destroyed, and some are still empty today. In 2012, the old fort was declared a historical object and is now protected by the state. The military base has been converted into a tourist object open for visitors.
Originally, the Fort located in the Gulf of Monterey was used for the postal purposes of the US Army. After the closure of the fort, hundreds of new houses were built on its territory. Today, visitors can admire this remarkable historical object at the interesting trade center and stroll along the picturesque streets. In addition, there are several scientific complexes on the territory of the fort, and part of the territory is occupied by a nature reserve with many interesting walking routes.
