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.
