This site marks the location of a blockhouse built by Joseph Kellett for protection against Native American raids during pioneer times. During the Revolutionary War, it was garrisoned by local militia, with Kellett supplying provisions to the Patriot army. As a sister fort to Fort Lindley, it supported Fort Lindley during an attack.
