Fort Crown Point was a British fort built by the combined efforts of both British and provincial troops (from New York and the New England Colonies) in North America in 1759 at a narrows on Lake Champlain on what later became the border between New York and Vermont. Erected to secure the region against the French, the fort is in upstate New York near the town of Crown Point and was the largest earthen fortress built in the United States. The fort's ruins, a National Historic Landmark, are now administered as part of Crown Point State Historic Site.To visit Crown Point State Historic Site and get the most from your holiday in Crown Point, create itinerary details personal to you using our Crown Point tour builder site.

Really worth checking out. Stunning to see how much is still intact. The views of the lake are incredible. One can see why this was a highly strategic location from a defense perspective.

Beautiful public area full of natural beauty. Museum is small but has interesting and informative video. We were there on a re-enactment weekend which was really fun to witness!
