Old Fort Johnson is the original limestone house built by Sir William Johnson,
(Warragh-i-ya-gey), Superintendent of Indian Affairs and hero at the Battles of Lake George and Fort Niagara.
The Fort was home to William, Catherine Wisenberg, Molly Brant, John Johnson and family throughout the French & Indian War.
Photographs and line drawings of the Fort can be studied at the
Historic American Buildings Survey website.
Today the Fort is a museum and more. Here the visitor can steep himself in the social, cultural, military and industrial past of the Mohawk Valley. And though the Fort has been the setting for many historical books, no fiction could be as interesting as the real story of Fort Johnson, presented and preserved here for all to enjoy.
We are glad you stopped by today! Take a look at our News page for what's happening at the Fort, by our Musem Coordinator, Alessa Wylie.
