Fort Montgomery
​Rouses Point NY

This project is a virtual tour of an old ruined fort called Fort Montgomery in Rouses Point NY. This fort is often confused with another fort called Fort Blunder which was actually built on the same site prior to the war of 1812. Fort Blunder is called Fort Blunder because when they started work on that fort then found out that the US/CANADA border was a mile to the south. So they had to halt the work on that fort. After the war of 1812 they built what is now Fort Montgomery on the same site as Fort Blunder because the treaties signed after the war moved the boarder a mile or so north putting the Fort Blunder site inside US Territory. Work on Ft Montgomery began in 1844 and was mostly finished in 1880. The fort was partly demolished to provide stone for a bridge in 1936-1937. Today it is just a ruin.
