Fort Howard Post School

The first school recorded at Fort Howard was in 1824, when Colonel McNeill, commander at the Fort, organized a school for the children of officer’s and children in the area. A building that was already erected served as this school. The construction and architecture of the school is unknown, but it can be assumed that it would have been similar to other fort buildings following in the federal style of architecture. The building at Heritage Hill is a replica.
