Fortified Hill
Monday, September 8th, 2008
Oyster Bay, NY
Lt. Col. John G. Simcoe, commander of the Queen’s Rangers, fortified this hill while occupying Oyster Bay during the American Revolution. It gave the British an excellent vantage point from which to keep a lookout for any patriot ships that might slip into Oyster Bay Harbor. The fort was never attacked by the Americans.
