Fort Neoheroka

Fort Neoheroka is a 37-acre archaeological site in Greene County containing structural remains and artifacts from an early 1700s fortification. The grounds reveal traces of a Tuscarora stronghold that once served as a defensive position against European expansion.

The fort was built in response to European settlement pressure in the early 1700s. It fell in 1713 after a three-week siege by colonial troops, marking the end of Tuscarora resistance in the region.

This site marks where the Tuscarora people made their stand against European settlers and allied tribes in the early 1700s. Walking through the grounds, you encounter the memory of a community that fought to protect its territory and way of life.

The site is an active archaeological area, so independent visitor access may be limited. You should contact local museums or historical organizations to learn about guided visits or available research materials about the location.

After the fort fell, thousands of Tuscarora migrated northward and joined the Iroquois Confederacy. This event reshaped Native American politics in the North and gave the Tuscarora a new identity as part of the Six Nations.
