Fort Saint-Frédéric, French colonial fort in Crown Point, US
The limestone fortification stands at a strategic location on Lake Champlain, featuring walls twelve feet thick and four stories with mounted cannons.
French forces constructed Fort Saint-Frédéric between 1734 and 1737 to control the frontier between New France and British colonies until its destruction in 1759.
The fort represents the French military presence in colonial North America through its architecture and strategic positioning for territorial control.
The Crown Point State Historic Site museum displays artifacts, scale models, and multimedia presentations about the fort from Wednesday through Sunday, May to October.
The fort's ruins contain the remains of both French and British military structures, as the British built Fort Crown Point after destroying Fort Saint-Frédéric.
