stretching from Lake Champlain to the Hudson River, it was

a stopover on what was known as the“Warpath of the Nation.”

In the era of our nation’s founding, Fort Ann served as theencampment site for many war parties, and it was the sceneof consequential battles. Learn more about this historic com-munity below.


Fort Ann Antiques

In 1777, Fort Ann was the site of a criticalRevolutionary War conflict, the battle of FortAnn, during which the nation’s “Stars andStripes” were flown for the first time duringcombat. It’s also considered the site of a seriesof battles that are regarded as turning thetide in favor of American revolutionaries asthey fought the British forces for independ-ence.In the last century, Fort Ann is just as promi-

nent for its position—not for military rea-sons—but for commerce and tourism.

Today, the warpath has morphed into a vitalrural state highway, state Rt. 4, that links ruraleastern New York towns. The east-west road-way state Rt. 4 at the center of Fort Ann vil-lage, serves as the main route for vacationersand commercial haulers—from Albany, NYC,and beyond—to get to destinations in south-ern Vermont.

While during modern times Fort Ann isrenowned primarily for its champion highschool ball teams, it also provides pleasantopportunities for day trips.

For those who seek to own a piece of history, Fort Ann Antiques is a prime destination inWashington County, known for its array of artifacts from bygone eras. Fort Ann antiques offersa diverse selection of antiques and collectibles, whether it’s clothing, postcards, glassware,pottery, shutters or doors, tools artwork and prints. From sap buckets to fur coats, browserscan find items that intrigue them. The store also hosts a sampling of local handicrafts andimported gifts. Located at the corner of State Rts. 4 and 149, it’s open from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. everyday but Tuesday. Note that Towpath Antiques is located directly across Rt. 4. Housed in a GreekRevival building that once was a grocery store and a post office, the enterprise now has a goodselection of rare books and collectibles.
