Located at the strategic Oneida Carrying Place linking the Mohawk River and the passage to Lake Ontario, Fort Stanwix was constructed by the British during the French and Indian War. A spirited American defense in 1777 blunted the British invasion of New York. Today, a meticulous reconstruction by the National Park Service offers an unparalleled window into Revolutionary War life.
