<p>Tucked into a sheltered valley in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Baker is an outstanding example of saving your nation's heritage by bringing new life to an historic area. Once part of the coastal defense system that - from the Civil War to the Cold War - protected San Francisco Bay and its valuable port from attack, today, the fort is an inspiring showcase of a remarkable post-to-part conversion. After more than a century as a US Army installation, Fort Baker is now protected by the National Park Service, and its historic buildings, fortifications and spectacular views are available for public enjoyment. Inside you'll find: In-depth history of the evolution of Fort Baker Historical and contemporary maps and photographs Artis's rendering of the never-built fort at Lime Point Self-guided tours of the fort's parade ground and waterfront Building histories for today's Cavallo Point: The Lodge at the Golden Gate Appendices with detailed information on army units, commanding officers and fortifications.</p>
