Reviews of Fort At No 4 (Museum)

Tracy Dion

Great look back in time. Reenactments are fun for everyone. You can smell and hear the muskets a mile away. The volunteers are great "actors". Uniforms are authentic looking. Can't miss this one.

Megan Busath

Be aware that they no longer have costumed tour guides or any demonstrations on non-special event days. We visited on a Friday afternoon and there were no presentations or tours. I was disappointed because obviously walking around empty rooms was not as engaging for my three year old son.

Rhonda Luopa

We went to the Harvest Supper which is a fund raiser for repairs needed at the Fort. The volunteers were dressed in period costumes. And were gracious & informative. A small reception was set up prior to the dinner and included lively music by 2 musicians playing several different instruments. We enjoyed it and had a good time. We hope to do it again next year.

Elizabeth Cullity

Small but interesting. Staff are well versed in the area history

Alvin Nguyen

Nice view of river. Cool to visit

Bruce Caisse

This is a wonderful living history museum of the northernmost frontier fort on the Connecticut River. They regularly have activities that bring history alive including encampments and battle reenactments from both the French and Indian War and the American War for Indelendence.

Hannah Olson

While not as updated and high production value as some, this is a lovely place for a family outing on a nice day. The staff and volunteers are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. They periodically host living history weekends which are interactive and make the place come alive.

Fort At No 4 is less of a museum and more of a detailed recreation of the original fort. Great place to look around and see what life was like hundreds of years ago.

Dominic St.Pierre

Historically well known.

paul gross

It was good

Paula DeBow

Fort at No 4 was interesting. The guide was full of fascinating stories and details about life on the frontier in the early 1700s.

Constance Lacasse

Took 2 great grandsons for reenactment. It was wonderful and very well done. All enjoyed, but glad we brought chairs with us. Lot of walking at this museum but worth the effort to talk to local folks who man the fort.

Neil Sheehan

Learn about history

Daniel Loraditch

I found the exhibits and the reenactment to be interesting and educational.

Eddie Rausch

Stunning Fort! I was thoroughly impressed with the detail & effort it must have taken to erect it. It was breathtaking to experience what life must have been like for the originated inhabitants. The staff were extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. The relics & artifacts stored within the fort are also well-worth the visit, to name a few, Native American tools, centuries-old canoe, early western furniture. Yes, we had costumed tour guides, on a non-event day.

Christine Tobin

Pretty cool my son loved it there

Judy Saunders

This a wonderful open air museum exhibiting 18th century life in New Hampshire. The replica fort has exhibits demonstrating everyday life, including cooking and homemaking, blacksmithing, textile arts, trading, and they have occasional mock battles as well.

George Price

We went for the annual battle reenactment. Great experience, especially for the children.

Arelys MacGregor

this place was amazing and different the people there were friendly and one woman was very informative

Leah Garrapy

The fort was nice the "tour guy" that would not let us be that was up our butts the whole made it suck. Would have stayed much longer is he was not a hovercraft. Would not go back as all any of us 5 remember is the guy that would not give us run to breath.

Sarah T.

Great fun for three generations of my family! Tour guides were personable and informative

Papa Joe Gaudet

The folks at Number Four have been working hard to keep our history in place. The Fort at Number Four is dedicated to showing the many perspectives of the people of that time; European settlers and native tribes alike. They also host workshops just in case you'd like to make some 18th century item yourself.

Thomas Zadek

I have done re-enactments at the fort for five years. I enjoy each visit/show. It is one of the few remaining museums from the French and Indian War. It is a stockade fort which gave protection and comfort to New England soldiers and settlers in both the French & Indian and Revolutionary Wars.

Kristin Donovan

Great way to spend a summer morning

Ingo Weise

Well worth the visit. The staff was very helpful and knew not only the history of the settlement but also the surrounding area.

Amy McFarland

Long wait was Soo worth it

Operator K

The volunteers put in a lot of work but the site would do better if it was the original fort.

Kerri Martin

They put on a great realistic show, great for kids, adults, and the town of charlestown..

kelsie Lavalette

Fun and educational

Joshua Tetreault

Living history. Cheap yearly family rates for all their events...... great place to just hang out and remember yesteryear .

Fred Pierro

Disappointed to find out is that the fort is a total replacement structure. Originally located about a mile away and totally destroyed.

Stacy Gulick

Went for the Native heritage weekend and the stories were outstanding. Bought some beautiful earrings from a native craftsman

Jim Pecora

A wonderful museum, so much to see and do

SERKAN YORULMAZ

Great visit with family of 9!. It is amazing to see how they kept this area look so nice. Entire staff there so friendly, helpful and attentive. We were with 2 kids and 1 baby and they had fun in the Fort At No 4. Watch tower has great view of the river. Thanks for the great experience!

DJB GAMING

Wonderful place for a family outing. Allow your children to be sucked back into history.

Sarah 1998

Sawtells are relatives. My mom's a Sartwell. Cool fort lots of information to learn

Neil P. Allen

History buffs will love this place. Small but packed with a ton of history.

Kyle noused Db. Vpi v mkb

A fascinating peek into the first frontier with passionate guides, knowledgeable volunteers, and a wonderfully recreated structure.................yet the director a W. Baker almost ruined the experience for us. Lacking any pleasantries we saw her get in an altercation with guests who wanted to donate to the fort?!?!?!? It ended with her essentially escorting them out the door while arguing. As a self described historian her revisionist views are laced with modern politics that dragged down our enthusiasm. We will definitely return to the fort but most certainly will not be engaging with her again.

Zach Trombi

Great replica of the colonial era Fort at number 4. Lots of historical fun!

b. elliott

An excellent living history experience! The reenactors were engaging and knowledgeable. The view from the tower was really nice. A small but charming place.

Tom M

Lovely place to visit! A complete colonial era stockade fort staffed by wonderful knowledgeable people. Nice gift shop too. Recommend going in the spring or fall when its cooler. Especially for French and Indian war buffs or New England history in general.

Kent McKenzie

A very nice place to visit if you're interested in early New Hampshire history. It appears there is work being done to many of the buildings and it also appears that work has been going on for a while.

chris paquin

Great living historical museum!

chris Parkwol

Cool place to bring the family

Mary Lambert

Great hands-on museum for kids of all ages to enjoy! Impressive rebuild of pre-revolutionary trading post / fort!

jim catalfamo

stop here yesterday and wasn't disappointed. one thing you should know is this isn't a military fort but 6 houses that were fortified by the people who lived in them so this makes this a very unique find.

Anthony D

Iteresting more to see than I expected

Sandor Farkas

Fort Number 4 is an amazing place that is perfect for kids of any age. I have been going since I was quite little, and now reenact there. They put a lot of effort into constantly hosting events and re-enactments.

Zachary Welch

A relaxing place to take the Kids and wife and History buffs. And right on the other side of the trees SPORT FANATICS will love well at least Baseball and Soccer .. FOOTBALL though is lacking but. You can play that there. Grills are everywhere so food and cooking are WELCOMED

Craig Fogg

Great Rev war weekend at Ft 4. The fort is becoming a must see, must do historical site.

Katie Trott

Pretty small but when demonstrators are there, it's worth it! You can do a self guided tour and explore at your own pace, or take a guided tour that doesn't cost extra. Nice and quick but really informative!

Joshua Pelton

Good for kids to visit on field trips.

Kimmy Nadeau

Had a fun learning day here with my daughters school

mhcchcxp poak

Had a good visit here.

Beth Peramba

Authentic. The people are friendly and knowledge.

Melody Robar

Need to fix baby swings

Gabriel A.S.

A great independent open air living history museum.

Deborah Pelletier

This is a simple, down to earth museum, but educational. Battle reenactments are well planned, rehearsed, and narrated well. Interpreters are well informed about what they are doing. Activities to be seen include fireplace cooking, camping as soldiers would have done it, trading, bookbinding, etc. The village baker has a lot of information. Some weekends include more activity than others, but something is always happening. Abenaki weekends and Native Heritage events are particularly well presented. Admission is reasonable. Events are listed on the website.

Joe J

A big hit for young families and an interesting look into the fabled past of the American Pioneer's yesteryears. Some of the activities are very interesting and informative. Check out the website for times etc.

Don Hoyt

Living pre revolutionary war history

Kalyn Gelinas

Very interesting to see the history. Some volunteers aren't very personable well others go above and beyond.

Heather Hope

Closed in winter

Davis King

Had a wonderful time here. Small, but beautiful and interesting. Great for a few hours. Rowan was a wonderful tour guide.

Lucas Johnson plays

It's cool and historic

Gregg Jarvis

Great example of early American History. Being at a remote Outpost with a small group of people must have been an extremely challenging evdevour. Places that you can learn from are what makes America the greatest country on the planet.

Renee Willard

Had an awesome guide and enjoyed the reenactment we had gone to see

Michele Desormeau

Good place to bring kids

Sue Cooper

Very knowledgeable people. Nicely replicated.

Robert Young

Very interesting day at fort no 4 Charlestown nh. Thanks Chronicle for headship a couple of months ago.
