The Fort at No. 4

The Fort at No. 4 is a living history museum devoted to the French & Indian War (1754-1763). It's on the NH side of the Connecticut River just minutes from Springfield. It features historic reenactments (complete with cannon fire), a large stockaded fort complex, traditional crafting and ways of life, and a number of historic artifacts. It forms the eastern terminus of the Crown Point Road that runs 77 miles west to Chimney Point, on the shore of Lake Champlain south of Fort Ticonderoga. With a broad expanse of lawn extending down to the river, it's a great place for a picnic with the kids, especially on reenactment weekends. And for the history buff looking to broaden their insight beyond the American Revolution and the Civil War, the Fort at No. 4 offers a unique opportunity to step just a little farther back in time.
