Geocache Description:


Fort Tonoloway State Park is an undeveloped state park just west of the town of Hancock.  

The fort was built in 1755 by Lt. Thomas Stoddert and men from the Maryland State Militia, and was known as both Fort Tonoloway and Stoddert's Fort.  It was abandonded a year later, in 1756, when Fort Frederick was constructed.

The state park was at one time leased to the Boy Scouts. However, it is currently closed to the public and awaiting archaeological investigation before its use as a recreational facility can be assessed.
