Fort Mt. Adams Cincinnati, Ohio : During the American Civil War (September, 1862) two artillery emplacements were installed on the hill to help defend the city from the Confederacy. One was installed at Fort View Place (Fort Mt. Adams) and the other near the present location of the Playhouse in the Park (Battery Butcher's Hill). These gun emplacements protected the city of Cincinnati's western flank. The guns were never fired since the Confederate army could not penetrate the various forts and batteries in the Northern Kentucky hills (Bromley to Fort Thomas, Kentucky).
