Fort Laurens
From Warlike
Fort Laurens was the only fortification built within the current boundaries of Ohio during the American Revolutionary War. It was constructed in the fall of 1778 on the Tuscarawas River near what is now Bolivar, Ohio. Fort Laurens was besieged by Indigenous and British forces for several weeks in the winter of 1779. The fort was ordered abandoned in August 1779. The site is now owned by the Ohio History Connection. None of the original fort remains above ground.
