Forts & Battlefields in Central New York

Constructed in 1759, the Fort Brewerton historic site was built to protect the passage from Albany to the port of Oswego.

Just an hour's drive east of Syracuse, Fort Stanwix proudly identifies itself as the place where the "American flag was first flown in battle."

Designated a New York State historic site in 1927, Oriskany Battlefield is said to be the site of the bloodiest battle in the nation’s War for Independence.
