National Historical Landmark- Robert Fulton Birthplace

This stone house was the birthplace of Robert Fulton (1765-1815), artist, civil engineer, and inventor.

Fulton worked on the development of canal systems and engineering; he is perhaps best remembered for designing the CLERMONT, the first commercially successful American steamboat, launched in 1807.
