My Mum took these pictures. This isn’t that far from Lake Placid, so it’s worth the side trek over. This was a British fort used during the American War for Independence, ironically the fort had been previously built by the French who lost it to the British in a previous campaign. During the Revolution the Americans took it from the British, lost it to the British, and then the British abandoned it towards the end of the war. A fore-sighted person in the early 19th Century bought the remains (which were some ruins), and began the long restoration process so we have the fort to enjoy now.
