Fort Vengeance was erected in 1780 and stood on this ground. Caleb Houghton, born in Bolton, Mass., in 1760, was a member of Capt. Safford's Co., Maj. Allen's Detach., and was stationed at this fort when he was killed by an Indian half a mile south on July 15, 1780. His remains were moved here in Aug. 1873. The names of the Pittsford Co. of 1778 are engraved on the south side.
