Once inside the Visitor Center, visitors receive an orientation from the ranger on duty. After hearing and seeing some of the background history and drama of the events that happened at Fort Stanwix, join a ranger led interpretive program and gain a greater understanding of the struggles these people endured.
Visitors have an opportunity to discover their own bridges to the past in the museum.
Other activities in the fort include living history programs. These programs are real hands-on activities for visitors. All visitors are welcome to watch a military drill demonstration and experience the blast and smoke of 18th century weaponry. Visitors can enlist and experience for themselves what it must have been like 200 years ago in a wilderness fort. Take a different path back to the 20th century parking and see the fort from a whole new perspective.
