Fort Lewis is a historic estate that contains an antebellum era manor house, a farm and visitors lodge. The area was originally settled by Colonel Charles Lewis more than two centuries ago in present day Bath County, Virginia. In 1750 he built a small stockade to protect the strategic western end of the Shenandoah Mountain pass from Indian raids. It was one of a series of fortifications authorized by the Virginia Colonial General Assembly along the frontier during the French & Indian War. The stockade is now gone, but the manor house, farm, and reconstructed gristmill remain as part of "Fort Lewis Lodge".
