Ruins of the British fort at Crown Point

In 1759 near the ruins of the earlier French Ft. St. Frederick, the British built a large and imposing fort to protect their newly won control of Lake Champlain. Not long after it was built, the fort suffered a devastating fire. Today only these ruins are a reminder of the bloody struggle between Europe's two greatest powers for this strategic water route to the heart of the British colonies.

ft-pittw.jpg Ft. Pitt Located at the Forks of the Ohio, this site was of great strategic importance during the French and Indian War. The French were the first to build here naming their outpost Ft.
