Fort Brown Site, Military archaeological site in Plattsburgh, United States.
Fort Brown Site spans 2.9 acres along the Saranac River, featuring remnants of military structures and foundations from the early 19th century.
The fort, completed in 1814, played a strategic role during the Battle of Plattsburgh in the War of 1812 with its eight guns and four interior buildings.
The archaeological site preserves military architectural elements that demonstrate the defensive strategies employed along the northern frontier of the United States.
Fort Brown Park, managed by the City of Plattsburgh, allows visitors to explore the historical grounds and learn about early American military installations.
The strategic position of Fort Brown at coordinates 44°41′19″N and 73°27′1″W made it essential for monitoring maritime activities on Lake Champlain.
