Fort Wentworth, Colonial fort in Coos County, New Hampshire, United States.
Fort Wentworth stands on a strategic bluff overlooking the confluence of two rivers in northern New Hampshire, near the Connecticut River banks.
Captain Robert Rogers and his Rangers constructed Fort Wentworth in 1755 under Governor Benning Wentworth's orders during the French and Indian War.
The fort's existence intertwines with local family traditions, particularly the Potters of Groveton who maintain stories about its construction and purpose.
Visitors interested in colonial military structures can access the fort site through public pathways and learn about its history from information markers.
The limited archaeological evidence supporting Fort Wentworth's existence creates an ongoing historical investigation among researchers and community members.
