Fort Buhlow

Fort Buhlow is an American Civil War fort site located in Pineville, Louisiana. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 1, 1981. It was one of two forts built for the Confederate States Army by local plantation slave labor in March 1865 to prevent anticipated Union attacks. Alphonse Buhlow was the military engineer for the construction of the forts and this one was named for him.
