Fort Dayton
This site was within the stockade of
Fort Dayton
which stood on a slight eminence about
one hundred yards farther north.
The fort was erected by Col. Elias Dayton
in 1776, served as a military base during
the Revolutionary War, and finally in 1781,
became the most westerly stronghold
for the colonies in the Mohawk Valley.
Marker is on Court Street east of North Main Street, on the right when traveling east.
