Fort at No. 4, Charlestown, NH

This "Living History Museum" in Charlestown, NH, offers a glimpse of what life was like when the Northern Valley was a frontier in the mid-1700s. The Fort recreates life on the eastern frontier during the French and Indian War Era. Within the log stockade are province houses, leantos, a Great Hall and watch tower. Outside of the walls, visitors will find a working blacksmith shop and two 18th Century barns. Costumed staff bring to life the spirit of No. 4 with daily demonstrations of 18th Century skills.
