Fort Lewis, Virginia

Fort Lewis is a historic estate that contains an antebellum era manor house, a farm and visitors lodge.

In 1756 he built a small stockade to protect the strategic western end of the Shenandoah Mountain pass from Indian raids.

[2] It was one of a series of fortifications authorized by the Virginia Colonial General Assembly along the frontier during the French & Indian War.

The stockade is now gone, but the manor house, farm, and reconstructed gristmill remain as part of "Fort Lewis Lodge".

[3] Fort Lewis was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019.
