Exterior view of the ruins of the barracks at Crown Point on Lake Champlain. Windows, doorways, and chimneys still remain on the crumbling ruins of a long, stone building. A cow looks on as a man drives a buggy beside the ruins. Originally named Fort Amherst, Crown Point was a British fort constructed in 1759 near the site of the French Fort Saint-Frédéric, which was destroyed earlier the same year in the French and Indian War. Crown Point was captured by the Green Mountain Boys in the Revolutionary War.
