The Golden Gate was a Military Fort

Immersed in a vibrant history, the San Francisco Bay Area hosts one of America's most iconic landmarks: the Golden Gate Bridge. The culmination of San Francisco and the state of California as a whole’s history, and only able to be constructed due to the influx of citizens from the Gold Rush, the Golden Gate Bridge connected two points fortified during the Civil War. Once called unbuildable, the design of Josef Baermann Strauss brought it into the realm of possibility, but building it was a challenge. And today, at the bottom of the Golden Gate Strait, lies a broken secret recalling dark memories.
