In 1777, the fort was rebuilt as a crescent shaped four gun battery. In 1781 it was made part of the national defense and named Fort O'Brien. During the War of 1812, during September 1814 [1] the British captured the fort and burnt the barracks. [2]

In 1863, during the American Civil War, Fort Machias was built adjacent to the ruins of Fort O'Brien. It was a five-gun earthworks fort with "Napoleon" 12-pound cannon. It was actively manned from 1863 to 1865. In 1923, the U.S. government transferred the sites of both forts to the state of Maine. As of 2006 they are managed as a historic site by the Maine Bureau of Parks and Lands. [3] In 1969 they were added to the National Register of Historic Places, as structure #69000024. [4]
