Historic Fort Gregg Barracks

Address: 100 N James Street, Rome, NY 13440

Fort Stanwix in Rome, New York guarded the Oneida Carry, a strategic portage between the Mohawk River and Lake Ontario, during the French and Indian War. Rebuilt by American forces, it withstood a British siege in August 1777 that helped derail the campaign leading to Saratoga. Today's fort is a full-scale National Park Service reconstruction.

Explore the ramparts and barracks, meet costumed interpreters in season, and work through the siege story at the Marinus Willett Center's exhibits; young kids love clambering around the fort itself. For a challenge, spend a long visit tracing the full 1777 siege and campaign story with rangers across every exhibit and trail.
