Monuments and memorials
Fort at Number 4 in Charlestown
Fort at Number 4 is a reconstruction of a fort from the mid-18th century. The fort was the northernmost British fort on the Connecticut River and served, among other things, as an operational base in the wars against the French and Indians. Nowadays you can also find the representation of life in the fort in earlier times, so it is a “living history museum”. And if you get enough of the fort, you can relax on the banks of the Connecticut River.
