It's right next to my castle of "Arrrrrrrrggghhhh".
But I don't go there. It IS a silly place.
"There are no restrictions on the fort, meaning the new owners can develop it as they see fit. One possible use for the land would be the creation of a marina and luxury condominiums with dramatic views of the lake and mountains in Vermont and New York states; there are no height restrictions for such a development. Potential also exists for commercial development, as the area has proven to be attractive to business."

Fort Montgomery and History
I'm not sure how much history is actually attached to the fort. The one reference I have found so far indicates that work was begun on the fort in the 1840s (which fits the visibly surviving structure) and it was intended to protect the natural highway of Lake Champlain. This was a favorite north south route between the United States and Canada. It never saw action, so unless someone important such as Robert E Lee of the engineers had a hand in building it, is seems unlikely to have much history attached to it. Of course, it might still make a great base for some reenactments depending on how much undeveloped ground survives around it.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
