Old Fort Marker
1633 - 1933
On the brow of the hill overlooking the meadow
stood the Old Stone Fort or Stoughton House. It was
in two portions, one stone, probably the older, and one wood. At the north end was a door of heavy oak
timbers studded with iron spikes, which bore the
hacks and cuts of indian tomahawks. The house was
torn down in 1809
Marker is on Connecticut Route 159.
