Fort Klock, located near the center of the historic Mohawk Valley, was a fortified stone farmstead built by Palatine German immigrant Johannes Klock in 1750 . In 1973 it was designated a National Historic Landmark. A site of exceptional value in commemorating or illustrating the history of the United States. Owned & operated by Fort Klock Historic Restoration, the nearly original house has been restored. The 30 acre complex contains many reconstructed colonial farm structures, including a working blacksmith's shop, a new world Dutch barn and a early 19th century schoolhouse. The site is open from Memorial Day to Columbus Day each, from 9:00am to 5:00pm Tuesday through Sunday. A small fee is charged. Groups wishing to use the picnic grounds and/or arrange a large group tour are asked to schedule their use ahead of time.
PO Box 42 St. Johnsville, NY 13452 (518) 568-7779 Donations for the ongoing restoration, preservation, & public programming would be welcomed. |
