Fort Hyndshaw, Colonial fort in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, US.
Fort Hyndshaw consisted of a 70-foot square wooden blockade constructed around Lieutenant James Hyndshaw's residence near the Delaware River frontier.
The Pennsylvania Legislature commissioned Benjamin Franklin and James Hamilton to establish this defensive position in 1756 during the French and Indian War.
The fort served as a military outpost where British militia forces conducted operations against Delaware tribes in northeastern Pennsylvania.
The site location is marked by a historical plaque at the intersection of Milford Road and Community Drive in East Stroudsburg.
Ground-penetrating radar investigations reveal the fort's remains within a semicircular bluff at the edge of a ravine, smaller than other colonial fortifications.
