History
Fort Mitchell is located south of Phenix City in Alabama, adjacent to the state-owned and operated Fort Mitchell Park.
The Georgia Militia originally constructed Fort Mitchell in order to sustain a military presence in the area during the Creek War of 1813 to 1814.
Shortly after the fort's completion, the Georgia Militia launched an attack against the British at Tuckabatchie and Hothlewali.
The militia was ambushed and driven back to Fort Mitchell by a combined force of Creeks and British.
Thereafter, until 1825, a small force continued to garrison at the fort.
Medal of Honor
Medal of Honor recipients VA lists as interred or memorialized here include Sergeant Matthew Leonard (Vietnam).
