Fort Stanwix

Fort Stanwix

The small fort protecting a portage became the location of a siege during the Revolutionary War. They never surrendered.  But the siege started a series of events that lead to Colonists win at Saratoga. The current fort is a reproduction, but maybe the ghosts are glad its back.
