Six Miles Shared by Many Nations
For centuries, the Oneida Carrying Place, a six mile portage connecting the Mohawk River and Wood Creek, served as a vital link for those traveling by water from the ocean to the Great Lakes. When Europeans arrived, nations fought for control of the carry, the homelands of the Six Nations Confederacy, and the rich resources of North America. In this struggle, Fort Stanwix would play a vital role.
Aug 27 2010Another solo trip while I working a Job in Western NY. Even though the fort is a recreation there is much to learn and take in. This is also part of the Erie Canal NHC and North Country National Scenic Trail site.
