Crown Point State Historic Site (Fort Ruins)
Battlefield
Substantial ruins of the British fortification built 1759–1763 on the Lake Champlain peninsula. The star-shaped earthwork and stone walls of what was once the largest British fort in North America remain dramatically imposing. The site interprets French Fort Saint-Frédéric (1734–1759), the British Crown Point fort (1759–1775), and the American occupation during the Revolution. Museum and visitor center on site.
