Fort Decker, Historic stone house in Port Jervis, New York, United States.
Fort Decker stands as a 1793 stone structure at West Main Street, featuring original architectural elements from the colonial period.
During the Revolutionary War in 1779, the original Fort Decker was burned in an attack led by Joseph Brant, leading to the Battle of Minisink.
The Minisink Valley Historical Society maintains Fort Decker as a museum, presenting artifacts and exhibits about early American settlement patterns.
Visitors can explore the museum's collection of regional historical items and learn about the Delaware and Hudson Canal's construction period.
Engineers working on the Delaware and Hudson Canal resided in Fort Decker by 1826, including John Jervis, who later became the city's namesake.
