Fort Montgom ery Fort Now Known as Fort Bander
An obscure 19th century project near Roune’s Point, Fort Montgomery, or Fort Bander, was begun in 1815 to guard Lake Champlain. Survey errors placed the boundary south of the fort, delaying completion for decades. The Welster-Radburton treaty later aligned the line, and the fort remained unarmed and unfenced, becoming a curiosity of postwar border surveys.
