Forts Webb, Wyllys and Meigs

 

In 1778, three forts were built by Connecticut regiments on the ridgeline east of Fort Putnam. They covered the low ground approach to Fort Arnold along the river, the ridgeline itself, and the low ground between Fort Putnam and the ridge. Fort Putnam protected all three forts.

Marker can be reached from Delafield Road when traveling north.
