Fort Klock, Colonial fortified house in St. Johnsville, United States.
Fort Klock features thick stone walls measuring two feet wide, with strategic loopholes positioned throughout the structure for defensive purposes.
Johannes Klock constructed this stone homestead around 1750, which served as both a residence and trading post during the French and Indian War.
The restored 30-acre complex includes a Colonial Dutch Barn, blacksmith shop, and 19th-century schoolhouse, representing early American settlement architecture.
Visitors can explore the fort from Friday through Sunday during seasonal hours, with guided tours available by calling 518-568-7779 for reservations.
The basement contains two chambers, with one featuring a natural spring-fed pool that provided water access during potential siege situations.
