Fort Stanwix National Monument


This room has been laid out to look like the commandant quarters. The original quarters were located in the headquarters building, which was not reconstructed.

The fort commander was a man of wealth and high social status, which was reflected in the quality of furnishings and personal items that he brought with him to the fort. At least one private was assigned to take care of all the commander needs and he had at least two horses at his disposal.

He also had the resources to maintain regular communications with home. Compare this with the life of a soldier, who had few personal belongings and neither the literacy skills nor the money to send and receive letters.
