The site of the Fort Van Auken is in Port Jervis and is now the Port Jervis Golf Club. There is a plaque on the clubhouse that gives a one sentence history of the fort but more information can be found in the Minnisink Historical Society in Port Jervis.
It was a stone farmhouse that was built to withstand attacks from the Indians and was successfully defended several times.

Hello to all VA's. I was wondering if anyone knows of Fort Van Auken and could anyone who knows the Fort's whereabouts direct me to it.
