Fort Koshkonong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fort Koshkonong was located at a site which today is in the city of Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, about three blocks east of Main St. along Milwaukee Ave. General Henry Atkinson was the commander of the fort during the Black Hawk War. The fort's location is along the Rock River and is marked with a monument.
Fort Koshkonong shares its name with Lake Koshkonong, which is several miles downriver. That lake is very shallow, and at the time the fort was active, before it was dammed, was actually more of a marsh than a lake.
