From January to June 1865 the fort was garrisoned by the 27th Unattached Company of Massachusetts militia. The fort was placed in caretaker status following the Civil War, remaining so at least through World War I. The military reservation was purchased by the federal government and declared inactive in 1870. Reportedly, the fort and/or the reservation were used in the Spanish–American War and World War I. The land was sold in 1925 to a private buyer.
