Fort Granville, Colonial fort ruins near Lewistown, Pennsylvania, US.
The fort structure consisted of a 100-foot square stockade with two blockhouses and barracks positioned along the north bank of Juniata River.
Built in December 1755 by Pennsylvania Militia under Captain George Croghan, Fort Granville protected settlers during the French and Indian War.
The fort exemplified the Pennsylvania frontier defense system, marking the intersection between colonial settlements and Native American territories.
The historical marker for Fort Granville stands on 4th Street in Lewistown, with eight additional historical markers within two miles.
French forces and Native American allies destroyed the fort in August 1756, taking 22 soldiers, three women, and seven children as captives.
