Description: In August of 1755 Fort Hardy was built by General Phinehas Lyman in Saratoga County, New York, specifically in Schuylerville. The defensive structure was erected at the northwest intersection of the Fish Kill and Hudson River and stood adjacent to a ferry that crossed the Hudson, as well as one of the first bridges in the area. The fort was named for the then Governor of New York, Sir Charles Hardy. Fort Hardy was intended to serve as a supply post for expeditions that were being planned against Crown Point, one of them being The Johnson Expedition. Today, the site of the fort serves as a recreational park for community members to enjoy.
