FtHenry-1919PM.jpg
There are no contemporary drawings of the fort, but this postcard drawing from 1919 is a reasonable guess. It was located between the current 10th & 11th streets on the west side of Main St. A pasture sloped down to the river.

A stone on Main St marks the fort's location and the last battle of the Revolutionary War that was fought there (after the Peace Treaty was signed - no instant communications then).
