Fort Pike, Sackets Harbor-- Part 3: Portions Still Remain

Fort Pike later became Madison Barracks.

Any vessel trying to enter Sackets Harbor's inner harbor would be caught in a crossfire between Forts Pike and Tompkins.

General Zebulon Pike launched his forces from here for his attack on York (now Toronto).  The Americans captured York, but General Pike was killed by debris from the exploding magazine.

Portions of Fort Pike's earthworks still remain.
