Sir William Johnson
There is a lot of history tied to this guy. I would suggest checking it out online yourself as well as exploring the provided link. Hopefully the link works. I first visited this place looking for the geocache "SWJ's Fort". They open this awesome looking stone building to the public every year and host an old fashioned style gathering with people dressing up in period clothing. Knitting, a blacksmith, and just a lot of fun. I've seen them host field trips for schools as well. You should definately bring along the whole family to visit. I would contact Fort Hunters historical society ahead of time to find out when they are open. Log this how you will just remember to Have Fun & Happy WMin', Swizzle & Family
