The fort was built by Govener Andross and he named the fort after him self in 1688.
Today this fort is visited daily by many different people. Not for the historic value of the site but for many different business that are held out of this old fort.
On site there is no information about the fort. This is something that should be changed. If nothing else a small pamphlet would be nice.
Fort Andros was built in 1688 and destroyed before 1700. Your photos show the Cabot Mill complex, built in the 19th century to manufacture cotton textiles. The current owners have hung a sign on it reading "Fort Andros" but this building has no connection to that earlier structure. There is a granite plaque built into the tower above the "Fort Andros" sign which identifies the building as Cabot Mill.
