Fort Stanwix, Colonial fort in Rome, United States
The stone and wooden fortification features four bastions, a drawbridge, barracks, and protective walls surrounding a central parade ground covering 16,000 square meters.
Constructed in 1758 under British General John Stanwix, the fort protected the strategic Oneida Carrying Place during the French and Indian War.
The fort witnessed significant treaties between British authorities and Native American tribes in 1768, establishing new boundaries for colonial settlements.
The National Monument includes three walking trails, guided tours by rangers, musket demonstrations, and exhibits displaying archaeological findings from the colonial period.
During the 1777 siege, the garrison conducted a raid on the British camp while many attackers were occupied at the Battle of Oriskany.
