(2007) Water Battery from the northeast rampart
 
This battery, built in the 1790s, gave Fort Mifflin the room necessary to increase the number of cannons defending the Fort. It was expanded following the Civil War, and is now open for visitors to experience a great view of the Delaware River. Picnic facilities are also located in this area

The Casemates, or bombproofs were originally designed to serve as soldiers barracks in the event of an enemy bombardment. During the Civil War, these rooms held prisoners of war from the Confederate Army and lawbreakers from the Union side
