Ingoldsby, Fort
Description: Fort Ingoldsby was built during Queen Anne's War in 1709, near the present-day location of Stillwater, on the Hudson River, by Colonel Schuyler. The fort was named for the then Lieutenant Governor of the New York colony. The fort’s intended purpose was to serve as a supply post for the Nicholson Expedition. Later, in 1756, Fort Ingoldsby was reconstructed, and its name was changed to “Fort Winslow”. Visitors to the area can also see the Stillwater Blockhouse, a recreation of a typical eighteenth-century blockhouse, which was formerly located at Fort Neilson, Bemis Heights. The blockhouse is made from original barn timbers.
