The Fort at No 4 is an open-air history museum dedicated to sharing the rich heritage of the Upper Connecticut River Valley. Founded in 1947, the Fort at No 4 strives to delight visitors of all ages as they step back in time to experience life as it was during the Colonial Era in North America from 1735 until 1760.
The grounds faithfully recreate the details of the original structures that existed in 1746. Due to its location at the edge of the woods, bordered by the Connecticut River and the dedication of its townspeople, Number 4 held a distinctive position in the Colonies as well as an unique relationship with north-eastern Amerindian peoples.
We strive to share the complexities of history and demonstrate how the area’s varied inhabitants left an enduring influence on the region through engaging demonstrations, reenactments, hands-on workshops, and informative lectures.
