Inscription. This fort was the principal post north of Sunbury. It was built as a stronghold against attacks on frontier settlements at the time of the American Revolution. It was destroyed by the British and their allies in 1778, then rebuilt and destroyed again in 1779. The fort was rebuilt a third time because of its strategic position for defense and its use as a base to support scouting parties.
