Historical MarkersOld Fort Johnson - Historic Marker


Old Fort Johnson is located on Route 5 in the Village of Fort Johnson in the south part of the Town of Amsterdam, just west of the City of Amsterdam, NY. The Fort was build by Sir William Johnson in 1749. As the largest single landowner and most influential individual in the settlement of the Mohawk Valley, Johnson had prestige and leadership which extended beyond the region. His genius in dealing and trading with the Indians had a lasting impact on their relationship with the English, and influenced England's victory in the struggle for control of North America. Today the Fort is a museum and more. While the fortifications no longer exist, the house remains and is owned and operated as a museum by the Montgomery County Historical Society. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1972.
