Fort Wentworth




During the American Revolutionary War , Jeremiah Eames' Company of rangers garrisoned and repaired the unused fort from 1776 - 1778 in order to protect northern New Hampshire from attack from the British nearby in Canada . Other units of New Hampshire Militia also formed part of the garrison until the end of the war in 1783.

A stone monument stands near the village of Groveton on U.S. Route 3 near the site of the fort.
