“the fort that never surrendered”
For centuries, the Oneida Carrying Place, a six mile portage connecting the Mohawk River and Wood Creek, served as a vital link for those traveling by water from the ocean to the Great Lakes. When Europeans arrived, nations fought for control of the carry, the homelands of the Six Nations Confederacy, and the rich resources of North America. In this struggle, Fort Stanwix would play a vital role.
Very educational and well organized self guided tour through the museum and fort. Plan to spend about two hours.
Cool to see what an 18th century fort looked like up close! They've done a good job of keeping this place looking great, and there's lots of displays that give some good insight on to how the fort operated. Definitely a good stop for history buffs.
