Hill, Fort

Description: Fort Hill (1) was a fortified house that saw combat in both the Seven Years’ War and the American Revolution. It was located on a hill in the western reaches of St. Johnsville near East Canada Creek. It is speculated that it and Fort House are one and the same. Fort Hill (2), also known as the North Redoubt and South Redoubt, was located in the highlands on the east side of the Hudson River. The North and South Redoubts were situated two miles southeast of Constitution Island, between Garrison, a town in Putnam County, New York, and Route 9. The redoubts were part of a line of structures collectively known as the “West Point defenses”.
