Surrounded by an imposing palisade, this hard-to-miss landmark is a fun stop for history buffs and families alike. Built in 1758, the fort protected the region back when it was an essential link between the waterways to the Atlantic Ocean and the Great Lakes. Later, this militia outpost became an important base of protection during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War. Today it has been almost completely reconstructed, while the attached Willet Center provides an expanded home for other exhibits and artifacts. Guided tours are available, or spend some time exploring the fort on your own.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
