Point of Fork Arsenal
Point of Fork Arsenal, Military archaeological site in Fluvanna County, United States
The Point of Fork Arsenal stands at the intersection of the Fluvanna River and Rivanna River, featuring stone foundations from the original structures.
The British Queen's Rangers under Colonel John Graves Simcoe raided and destroyed the arsenal buildings and supplies on June 5, 1781.
The site represents early American military manufacturing, demonstrating the development of arms production during the Revolutionary War period.

The arsenal supplied materials for both the Whiskey Rebellion and the Battle of Fallen Timbers before relocating to Richmond in 1801.
