Fort Delaware Museum

Catskills


A reconstructed log fort (not a military outpost) from the 1750s when English settlers and Lenape Indians coexisted in what was then wilderness territory. Tours leave on the hour (the last one is at 4pm), with interpreters in period dress demonstrating skills such as candle-making, quilting, weaving and food preparation.
