Activities and experiences

Fort Edward National Historic Site

Step inside a historic military blockhouse from the mid-1700s, where creaking floorboards, original graffiti, and musket slits in the walls evoke the lives of soldiers once stationed here. Stroll along the grassy earthworks and enjoy a picnic.

The blockhouse is closed for the season. The grounds are open but there is no winter maintenance.
