Historic Fort Steuben

Historic Fort Steuben was built in 1786 by the First American Regiment for the protection of surveyors who had been sent by the Continental Congress to map the Northwest Territory. Visitors can tour the reconstructed fort to see the soldiers’ quarters, guardhouse, hospital, and commissary, as well as the Federal Land Office. Historic Fort Steuben’s many exhibits, tours, and events tell the story of the daily life of the men who helped open the territories to settlement.

At this virtual program, a representative from Historic Fort Steuben will highlight the history of the site and what you may see during your visit. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and learn more! Registration is required. Please register here.
