Really nice, wish they had interpreters maybe after covid.

This is a perfect place for such a time as this. History is being ignored, time to double down and cherish our founders sacrifices that are timeless.

Very helpful Park rangers. Museum closed because of Covid. Cellphone walking tour a nice addition. Amazing reconstruction! Great exhibits within fort.

A very interesting historical site. It was burned down by the British in the 1700s. It was rebuilt to resemble the original fort in the early 20th century. Very well done. The visitor center is very good. Many artifacts and two films to watch. It very historically educational. We really enjoyed it.

A historical look back into Americas past. A must see destination if in the Rome, NY area. This fort played an important roll in American history before the Revolutionary war. Built by the British in just 90 days. You can walk through and see how soldiers lived during these rough times.

A fun step into the past. Hours have decreased due to current situation. Always a pleasure to visit.

Interesting but not open on a Sunday. You can get a lot of info and history on the app

The rangers and volunteers get five stars for this property. They do an outstanding job and are passionate about what they do. The fort is not original, it was rebuilt in the 1960s after then-modern buildings were razed to clear land for the fort. There is significance to the fort geographically. It is worth the detour off of I-90 to visit if you have time.

We stumbled upon Fort Stanwix by accident when we saw an exit sign on the interstate that said Rome, NY, and traveling from Rome GA we couldnt resist the urge to go. The surprise was the hidden gem that we found here. The museum, rebuilt fortifications, and staff here where great! I would definitely recommend a stop there if youre into history and such. I found photos I took of the city park, but not of the fort, unfortunately.

I had the chance to visit the fort with my son and his boy scout troop during our aviation merit badge campout. The fort is rebuilt very well and feels like it is old even though it was reconstructed not that long ago. The staff was super friendly and the boys really enjoyed it. They were able to play with the toy guns and run around enjoying being a kid inside of a real fort. Canons were available to touch and there were little mock set ups in each section of the fort of what it may have looked like back in the day. It was a great visit and good for visit with the family of kids who can walk around themselves.

Its a great place to learn about how daily life was for our soldiers during the revolutionary was. Its interesting to explore the forts many areas and see where the soldiers lived. My son loved the visit and has stirred up interest in history. My family will visit again.

A incredible piece of history that people easily pass without noticing. The staff are incredible and knowledgeable l. They enjoy what they do.

One can visualize the history at this monument. Very simple, yet powerful.

The place is very interesting and kept up well. Staff is excellent. Enjoyed my time here much

Fantastic place. I was really amazed and impressed.

This place is great. i went on the 4th of july morning and they had an old fashion baseball game. i think everybody should see these great grounds once.

Excellent reconstruction of the Revolutionary War Fort. Very informative and enthusiastic park rangers. And a very large federally funded parking garage.

It is free. And has lots of history of the fort. Math equations, best defensive fort of the time.

A nice stroll with lots of history! Make sure you go on a sunny day to get the most out of it. I try to take everyone here that comes to visit.

Absolutely wonderful place. The tours that are given are very informative. My children enjoyed the Junior Ranger Program. Takes a few hours to get through the whole Fort.

Great place to take your kids for fun learning

Loved this place.. cant wait to go back. Staff amazing and lots of history..

A must see for Rev war enthusiasts. Fully reconstructed fort that you can walk into. Lots of interactive goodies for kids. Barracks, suttler, officers quarters and more, all open and touchable. Knowledgable ranger tour and lovely museum.Drive a little east and see Oriskany Battlefield, too.

Loved visiting the fort with the entire family and learn about some history.

Terrific Historical Fort Key to The American Revolution

This location is absolutely beautiful and filled with fascinating artifacts. The presentation of the history of the fort is done from multiple perspectives, giving a more complete understanding of the political, social, and economic motivations and climate at the time. The replication of the fort itself is simply amazing! Every turn has something new to explore, and its very easy to imagine life there during its existence. Its a small enough location for an educational family outing, and the videos, artifacts, and knowledgeable rangers and volunteers will easily keep children interested and engaged. I strongly recommend alotting at least an hour to properly take in the visitors center and the fort itself.

Thank you park rangers, great interpretations,. Historic fort, first one that I have visited with a drawbridge

Perfect day to enjoy this historic site. Its a well kept facility.

A great place to take your children. Very 1700s. There are replicas of bunk houses where the soldiers slept. An old time blacksmith display plus a museum that is out of this world.If you are a history buff this is a place for you.

Loved visiting this place. I actually stopped here on my road trip from Toronto to Boston to meet up with a friend who is reconstructing the place. The employees were so nice and informative. Its also almost the half way point from Toronto to Boston if you’re on I-90

Great place. Staff very nice and informative. Plus it was free to visit. Kids had a great time learning a little history.

Cool fort, great visitor center, friendly staff, interesting little known history.

The recreation of this fort is mind blowing. The attention to detail is spot on. Wonderful!

Lots of people who were engaging with lots of information!

Very informative tour and I learned a lot about the Fort.

Amazing history! The staff here is super nice!

Jolliest ranger in any national monument/park Ive ever been to.

Me and my family really enjoyed ourselves

A local gem. Great piece of history and not something you can see really anywhere else.

A flash back in time. It helps you really appreciate your freedom.

A phenomenal historic reproduction of an age gone by. Learn about life in this area during the pioneer days and beyond. If history and culture is your passion, do not miss this opportunity.

Awesome experience and the staff/rangers were super nice to the 7 year old I babysit. At first he didnt want to go at all but after everything he was excited and had a great time; learned some things too. Would highly recommend this for any family or people with kids.Whole thing last generally an hour and half to two hours. Depends on how much you look at. The 7 year old I watch was mainly interested in the fort itself and the activity they have the kids do.

Great place. Friendly patrons and workers. Cool history lesson. Loved the weapon demo. Kids had fun poking into all the rooms and learning.

Very informative and interesting visitors center, and the staff is very friendly and helpful in every way

Secret gem in the middle of Rome NY. Nice place for couples or families to show their kids the meaning of freedom. God bless the USA

Cool little out of the way spot! Lots of history to be seen. We arrived just in time for a musket demonstration. Not advertised on I-90 as an attraction, so Im real glad it was on Google maps!

Much bigger than expected and a lot to see here. This is a carefully rebuilt fort with a lot of history from 2 different wars to learn about. We had an RV and parked on the street but we were there during the week in the morning so that was a factor in finding available parking. Worth a stop if in the area or even a diversion if close by. Kind of neat to see a faithfully built Revolutionary War fort.

Love this historic site. The volunteers who are 18th century, actually know all the data about the times the fort was in use. Plus its all free. How do you beat that? Great job US parks and monuments

So MUCH history. A must see for those who love American History!

Very educational, nice people well informed full dress from old times very entertaining live the lantern lit walkways it was a goid time the music was my favorite part

We have the parks book and needed to check it off our list. Husband is a huge history buff and had to go. Great place to see how the first used to be.

Our tour guide, Samantha, was very knowledgeable about the history, shared some amazing anecdotes and answered all of our questions. The fort is a very interesting, intriguing, and important location in our nations history. I highly recommend visiting Fort Stanwix!

The employees are anxious to help, and very knowledgeable. During the winter The museum is open, but not the fort, so youll have the place to yourself in the winter.

Not open regular hours...call ahead. Closed on Saturday...

We came for dinnerat the picnic table area, and some Pokemon Go. The area was clean, well maintained, and quiet. The only recommendation would be a 24 7 bathroom. The public one closes at 5

Very good reconstruction of a historical monument with separate history museum.

Great park to visit. Very knowledgeable staff. Doing restoration work on parts, but still a interesting place to see

Sure great staff. I would go back in a heart beat. Really nice place to explore and see!

Historically significant. In the process of continual restoration. Great staff.

First it was free. But even that didnt allay the fact that it was under construction and there simply wasnt a lot of content. What was available for viewing was special. Also the sole guide who was dressed in a period costume was most upbeat and was full of information as to the hitory and various reenactments and volunteer opportunities.

Super informative. Lots of videos and interactive media combined with large Museum. The reconstructed for is really awesome. Park employees and volunteers dressed in traditional clothing made it a special treat. Extremely well done! Are 11 and 13 year old loved it. We stayed for 3 hours and could have easily stayed another 3.

Clean and well kept. Good size for walking with small children

Guides are super knowledgeable. Have taken 3 of my kids here on school field trips. The museum store is up to date.

This is a great place to learn some history of the American Revolution. The fort is a reconstruction on the original site and give a great view of how the Colonial Army used the fort to change part of the war. The interpretive guides at the Fort explain not only how the Fort was used to fend off the British soldiers but also what life was like I mob the Fort. They did have a demonstration of how the cannons were readied and fired. Also how they were used to defend the fort. Well worth a stop here if you have a couple of hours.

This is a remembrance of 911 and my baby in Rome NY

Great spot for recording lectures for class.

History of the fort and surrounding area. Great artificats and displays, smallish.

I took my grand daughter there and she really enjoyed it. She liked watching the movies and learning the history.

It had an interesting history but when we visited was under renovation so we could not get the full look at the fort.my husband enjoyed the demonstration of the shooting musket.

Great Place To Visit With Children or Grandchildren To Teach Them History..Also When Theu Have Honor America Days,Events For The Boy/Cub Scouts..We Miss Having Movie Night On The Lawn Tho

Loved it, some construction so some parts were off limits but pet friendly.

Very interesting, historic place to visit with kids. Makes you appreciate your current position when you see how these poor guys lived...

Fantastic experience.finally tied all the loose ends together concerning the battle of saratoga.ranger morgan was very helpful and very informative about fort stanwix and the events surrounding it.

Im usually working up here and this place is close and I have never been inside. With that said I have enjoyed walking around the outside and seeing the sites. Last time is was Zero out and several feet of snow which help me imagine what life back in the day was really like here. This is an awesome example of what a fort resembled from back in the day. Hope you enjoy as much as I did.

Very well maintained. Knowledgeable volunteers and staff. Nice interpretive displays. Very educational.

It was so nice to walk into the past . Its a must go see.

Get there before 5, a must visit if youre in Rome NY, beautiful little city.

It was amazing to see how times were back then. An the staff were very knowledgeable

Fort is in the middle of the city and a complete rebuild on the old foundation. They did a great job with recreating the fort.

Lived around here all my life and always wanted to go. It was great and educational. Brought my daughter and all employees were friendly and was interactive with us which added to the experience

OK, I know its rebuild but still very interesting.

Park ranger very informative.

This is a great place to visit..stop in the visitors center and look at the movies and exhibits before you go to the fort to explore. I only had an hour to spend..needed at least another 30 minutes to an hour.

They are always so friendly and knowledgeable. This is a free event everyone should go.

A must visit land mark. A great museum. Do yourself a favor and vist. You wont be disappointed. Then grab some grub from Brendas Natural Foods just down the street. Rome tastes good!

First time here since I was a little girl. Part of it is closed for repair and there werent many workers dressed in period clothes. I still love it for the history of my hometown.

Very cool! I enjoyed my visit very muxh!

They do it in a great way, you can visit it and feel as in xviii century

I live in this area and the Fort Stanwix National Museum is wonderful. It is the perfect place for educators to take a class of students to learn the amazing history of our area

Still waiting for the re-construction to be completed but it is a great experience to revisit the past

Couldnt hear the music very well. But other than that it was great.

Its a good reproduction of a 18th century wilderness fort. Unfortunately, its currently still under construction (or restoration?). Several areas are closed to the public and the ongoing work is distracting. Theres a small gift shop and some rooms where short films about the forts roll in the American Revolution are shown, and display cases with artifacts from the original fort. There are ranger led tours and admission is free. As the entire edifice is right in the middle of town, food and lodging are near at hand, as is free parking.

Great historical monument. Dont forget to visit the Oriskany Battlefield monument a few miles away, where the skirmish that started the turning point of the American revolution began. Ft Stanwix hosts tons of events that are educational and great fun for the whole family

Romes Honor America Days..... Outstanding Event every year....

Great place for the family to learn history. Very friendly Rangers.

Beautiful place

Good reproduction of the fort including the inside buildings. Persons dressed in period garb explained the fort. Several videos in the visitors center and in the fort gave a good history of the fort before and during the Revolutionary War.

Amazing staff! Captivating exhibits and movies.

The History of this place is amazing. Great for American History enthusiasts. Definitely must visit if youre able to.

Currently remodeling, still open. My kids and family love going there. Nice for a hands on history lesson. They also ref to points that are local and easy to get to.
