‘Pokemon Go’ players blamed for damage at historic fortFAIRHAVEN, Mass. — A fort destroyed in the Revolutionary War is again fending off attacks — this time from “Pokemon Go” players. The Fairhaven Historical Commission says hundreds of “Pokemon Go” players have been flocking to the fort, often at night, because it’s where a rare Pokemon can be found. Caretakers of Fort Phoenix in Massachusetts say players of the popular smartphone game are damaging the historic site. Gary Lavalette, volunteer caretaker at the fort in Fairhaven, near the Rhode Island state line, says people have been leaving trash, vandalizing historic structures and publicly urinating.
