Fort Montgomery, Revolutionary War fort in Highlands, United States.

The fort stands on a cliff promontory rising 100 feet above the Hudson River, featuring remnants of ramparts and a river battery position.

Built in 1776 by the Continental Army, Fort Montgomery protected the Hudson River until British forces captured it on October 6, 1777.

The visitor center displays military artifacts, period uniforms, and a detailed scale model representing the fort during the American Revolution.

The site maintains interpretive trails with informational signs that guide visitors through the archaeological remains of the fortification.

Engineers installed a chain and boom across the Hudson River from Fort Montgomery in 1776 to prevent British ships from sailing upstream.
