Very proud to be able to help keep our history and heritage alive 📚 💛

To all of the people who have given their time, effort and energy to the Fort at No 4 this 2024 season, we thank you from the very bottom of our collective hearts.

This small museum has run as a 100% volunteer organization this year, bringing over 5000 visitors plus almost 1000 school aged children for field trips. We had visitors from at least 39 states and 20 countries. All of this to our small Charlestown, NH and the Discover Sugar River Region NH.
