Fort Laurens was originally to be an advanced base for mounting an American attack on the British stronghold at Fort Detroit. Fort Laurens is also the site of the Tomb of the Unknown Patriot of The American Revolution -- with ceremonies and events related to the tomb. Construction and reconfiguration of the memorial park will be planned around the location of both the stone historical marker for the Unknown Patriot, and the graves of 21 soldiers graves at Ft. Laurens who were killed when the fort was besieged between the time of its construction until it was abandoned the following year. wksu.org/news/story/35830
