The Point Iroquois Blockhouse witnessed shots fired on U.S. General Wilkinson’s invasion forces. Captured and burned on 7th November 1813, the Blockhouse was rebuilt in 1814. As hostilities had ended in this area, British troops referred to it as “Fort Needless”.

Pris et incendiés le 7 novembre 1813, le Blockhaus fut reconstruit en 1814. Les hostilités ayant cessé dans ce secteur, les troupes anglaises lui ont attribué le nom de « Fort Inutile ».
