Fort Johnson (Illinois)-- Part 2: Where Is It?
In October 1815, Fort Johnson was reoccupied and renamed Cantonment Davis. Troops from here helped construct Fort Edwards which was occupied by American troops until 1824 and then traders moved in until about 1832.
Recent archaeological surveys have determined the probable location of Fort Johnson / Cantonment Davis.
