Description: In 1782, British forces constructed Fort Golgotha in Huntington, in Suffolk County, New York. The fort’s construction was headed by Colonel Thompson, a Tory with a British commission, who dismantled the Old First Presbyterian Church and used the wood to build the fort on Burying Hill. The cemetery at the site was leveled and was replaced with a six-foot earthwork spanning two acres. During the American Revolution, the fort never saw combat, and was eventually torn down after just two years of operation in 1784. The cemetery was then restored, and the location now hosts an archaeological site.
