Fort Stamford, Revolutionary War fort in Westover, United States
The five-acre Fort Stamford site contains remnants of military earthworks with three visible bastions overlooking the Mianus River and Long Island Sound.
Engineer Rufus Putnam designed this strategic fortification in 1781 under George Washington's defense network, housing 800 soldiers during the American Revolution.
The Stamford Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution placed a monument in 1926, marking the fort's role in American independence.
Located at 900 Westover Road, the grounds include walking paths through the Goodbody Garden, maintained by the Stamford Garden Club.
The fort prevented British attacks in 1779 when General Israel Putnam gathered reinforcements, causing enemy troops to retreat upon seeing the garrison size.
