Fort Nonsense Location

Although no records exist from historical times to tell us what the fortifications here looked like, archaeological evidence revealed the location of walls and ditches at this site. The stone markings in this picture show this outline of the walls and ditches that make up the redoubt or Fort Nonsense. George ordered the construction of this small fortification on the hill overlooking Morristown, New Jersey to protect his Army and supplies from a British attack. George was one who always looked for the high ground. As it turned out, the British never came and the fortification was never called on to defend the town.
