Crown Point State Historic Site

Both the British and the French claimed Crown Point in the struggle for a North American empire. Four failed campaigns to oust the French between 1755 and 1758 were mounted by the British. It was not until 1759, however, that the abandoned French Fort St. Frederic was taken over by the British.
In 1775, at the outbreak of the Revolutionary War, the rebellious colonists captured the fort, secured cannons and heavy ordnance.
