Fort Putnam, named after Revolutionary War General Israel Putnam, is a historic military fortification located in West Point, New York. Constructed between 1778 and 1780 by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, it played a significant role in defending the Hudson River Valley from British forces. Situated atop a strategic hill overlooking the Hudson River, Fort Putnam served as a key stronghold and provided a vantage point for monitoring enemy movements. The fortification features stone walls, earthworks, and cannons, embodying the military architecture of the period. Today, Fort Putnam is part of the United States Military Academy at West Point and is open to visitors, offering insight into America's military history.
