Fort Saint-Frédéric Ruins
Monument
Stone ruins of the French fortification built 1734, the predecessor to the British Crown Point fort and the structure establishing European military control over the Lake Champlain narrows. The French destroyed their own fort when British forces advanced in 1759. The remaining stone tower is the oldest surviving masonry fortification in New York State.
