The Fort at No. 4

The Fort at No. 4 is more than a museum—it is a place where history comes alive, and community comes together. Located in Charlestown, New Hampshire, The Fort at No. 4 preserves and interprets life on the colonial frontier, sharing the stories of the settlers, soldiers, craftspeople, and Native peoples who shaped our region's history.

Today, visitors step back in time as they explore a carefully reconstructed 18th-century fort, complete with a stockade, historic buildings, and interactive exhibits. Through living history demonstrations, reenactments, educational programs, and special events, thousands of children and adults each year gain a deeper understanding of New England's past and its lasting influence on our present.

The Fort also serves as a vibrant community gathering place, bringing together local residents, educators, volunteers, families, and visitors through programs that inspire learning, connection, and civic engagement. From school field trips and heritage events to volunteer opportunities and community celebrations, the Fort at No 4 creates meaningful experiences that strengthen our region's cultural fabric.
