Fort Augusta, Military museum in Sunbury, United States
The Fort Augusta Museum displays military artifacts, including two preserved cannons, a powder magazine, and a well from the colonial stronghold.
Colonel William Clapham constructed Fort Augusta in 1756 as the largest British provincial fort in Pennsylvania during the French and Indian War.
The museum occupies the former site of Shamokin, a Native American settlement that extended across 800 acres between the Susquehanna River and mountains.
The Northumberland County Historical Society maintains the museum, featuring a reconstructed fort model that stands at the entrance since 2013.
The fort's strategic position at the confluence of wilderness trails and waterways prevented enemy attacks, allowing peaceful development of surrounding territories.
