It is the site of a frontier fort built in 1758 as an outpost during the French and Indian War. The fort was situated at the junction of the Great Trading Path and the Richmond Road, near the New River. The fort fell into disrepair in the 18th century as both the county seat and courthouse were moved from Fort Chiswell to the county seat of Wytheville, 12 miles to the west. The remaining foundations of the Fort and its surrounding buildings were completely covered over during the construction of I-77 in Wythe County during the 1970s. There is a pyramid shaped historical marker of sandstone situated approximately 200 yards west-northwest of the fort's original location next to the old chicken house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[2] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Virginia Landmarks Register|url=http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/registers/register_counties_cities.htm|publisher=Virginia Department of Historic Resources|accessdate=5 June 2013}} {{National Register of Historic Places in Virginia}}{{WytheCountyVA-NRHP-stub}}2. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 7 : Archaeological sites on the National Register of Historic Places in Virginia|Buildings and structures in Wythe County, Virginia|National Register of Historic Places in Wythe County, Virginia|Colonial forts in Virginia|Forts on the National Register of Historic Places in Virginia|British forts in the United States|1758 establishments in the Thirteen Colonies |
