Fort Crown Point, Military fortress in Crown Point, United States.
Fort Crown Point stands on a peninsula at Lake Champlain, featuring substantial earthen walls and two remaining barracks buildings from the colonial period.
The British constructed Fort Crown Point in 1759 during the French and Indian War, making it the largest earthen fortress in colonial North America.
The fort complex encompasses ruins from both French and British military architecture, reflecting the sequential occupation of the Champlain Valley by different powers.
Visitors can explore the fort ruins, examine military artifacts in the museum, and participate in guided tours led by staff in period clothing.
The fortress contained an intricate network of roads covering three and a half square miles, connecting multiple defensive structures across the peninsula.
