Fort Clinton

The sites of both forts are in present-day Highlands, Orange County, New York.

[3] The forts were razed by the British, and the iron chain they sought to defend was dismantled.

The Rebels installed another Hudson River Chain farther upriver.

Although the ruins of Fort Montgomery survive and the site is a National Historic Landmark, the Fort Clinton site was destroyed in the 1920s during the construction of U.S. Route 9W and the Bear Mountain Bridge.

[4] Today, the Fort Clinton site lies within Bear Mountain State Park and is used for the Trailside Museum and Zoo.
