  Interesting museum on the site of the old Fort Herkimer. The fort was renamed Fort Plain after Herkimer was killed at Oriskany and some folks in the valley felt (unfairly) that he was at fault for loosing the battle and getting a lot of local militiamen killed in the process. The museum is in a nicely restored period house near the original fort, but the fort itself no longer exists. There is a very nice display of artefacts, pictures and maps in the museum that tell the story of the War in the area, as well as a great bookstore. You can walk to the site of the original fort and get a nice view over the Mohawk Valley
