A truly wonderful experience! The tour guide was very knowledgable, and explained the history of the settlement, the materials used to build it, and its applications today. What you may have thought was concrete, is actually oyster shell lime. Whatever that is. The fort was also a refugee camp for dirty redcoats during the Stamp Act Crisis and the Boston Massacre. Following this, the fort was an integral defense structure against the British during the revolutionary war. Despite its tactical and well thought out design, the fort proved to be too weak in the final hours of the Great War, and the subsequent Boston bombings in the 21st century. The fort is now used as headquarters for The Minutemen, a private militia dedicated to helping the people of Boston under the motto "Defending the people at a minutes notice". My tour suffered many distractions, such as the sounds of construction crews repairing and maintaining the walls, people mistaking the structure for The Pentagon, a crab infestation (Those Spider crabs are huge!) , and a blimp flying overhead repeatedly announcing "Do not interfere, our intentions are peaceful" before mooring off at Boston Logan. The fort also broadcasts marching music through their "Radio Freedom" station. At one point, Taps was playing on repeat for several hours, which forced me to stand at attention and render a salute until the song stopped looping. The first sergeant of the militia, David Worthy, gave me 200 pushups after catching me with my hands in my pocket. The leader of the Minutemen, a spry young man by the name of Preston Garvey, apologized for the inconvenience, and paid me 100 bottlecaps for my trouble. Despite these shortcomings, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Fort Independence, and would gladly visit again to trade.

I visited Fort Independence on the 26th of September 2287 and the place was a dump. After I cleared out the mirelurk infestation and salvaged a lot of the remaining debris, it started to feel a lot more like home. A radio beacon has been installed and several rows of corn planted. Several automated turrets have also been installed to keep the peace. Can thoroughly recommend Fort Independence for a day trip.

What are you doing looking at reviews of the castle?, Anyway once youre done here I have something a little different for you, another settlement needs your help; some settlers at Greentop Nursery need the minutemens assistance, come back when you are done.

Great defensible position, a few turrets can easily cover the area, and plenty of space to grow crops and set up facilities for settlers. You just have to deal with Preston Harvey constantly pestering you, but you tune it out after a while...

Did a tour during july 4th and it was very informative. We walked through the whole facility and got to go up on top of the walls. It started raining and even though they were closing soon let us stick around till it calmed down.

An alright place, I stop over when Im passing through. But I had to murder the staff after defending it from psychotic androids. Oh well, no biggy. Preston aint mad and theres no police in the 23rd century. Peoplell come back.

Good And defendable settlement, just have to deal with huge crab. Really annoying radio freedom always playing. Good place to get a rocket launcher though. Plenty of dirt for crops and space for stuff.

Great place to visit in the warmer weather. They offer tours which are very informative and free. Would recommend bringing a blanket and lunch to relax after touring the fort.

Huge Mirelurk infestation, collapsing walls, and some weird guy who keeps following me and telling me to help out settlements or something. Would not recommend.

Very historical place! Security in the tunnels was a bit over dramatic, and the walls need work. But other then that and a few crabs id say its pretty nice!

Nice place to tour. Theres a playground and some beach thats decent for taking kids to. Airplanes take off overhead so take that as you will.

From a tourists point of view the fort is interesting, there are free tours. Its a nice Park although a little hard to get to.

The fortifications here make it ideal for the headquarters. Slight Mirelurk infestation, but otherwise a great place!

Awesome place to explore during the summer. As a perk, you can watch as the airplanes land at Logan.

Nice settlement although it could use some help with the monster fish infesting the building

A great settlement, and I was able to fix the walls. But I still prefer sanctuary hills.
