Today
The Fort at Number 4 is now a living history museum, recreated to depict its appearance during King George's War. A group of historians and enthusiasts portray the settlers and town militia. During most summers, the fort hosts both French and Indian War and American Revolutionary War reenactments. The fort was closed for the 2009 season, was partly reopened in 2010 for selected events, and has reopened for a full summer season in 2011.
