Sir William's son Sir John Johnson owned the house from 1763 until 1776, when it was confiscated by the local Committee of Safety.

It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1972.Plan your visit to Old Fort Johnson and a wealth of other attractions, well-known and undiscovered, using our Fort Johnson trip itinerary planner.
