  • Fort Antes was a stockade surrounding the home of Colonel John Henry Antes, built circa 1778 in Revolutionary Pennsylvania in the United States. The fort was built under the direction of Colonel Antes, who was a member of the Pennsylvania militia. It was on the east side of Antes Creek, overlooking and on the left bank of the West Branch Susquehanna River on a plateau in Nippenose Township south of modern day Jersey Shore in western Lycoming County. The local militia held the fort for a short period of time until it was ordered to abandon Fort Antes during the Big Runaway by Colonel Samuel Hunter. Despite being abandoned and attempts by the attacking British forces to burn it down, Fort Antes was one of only two structures in the valley to survive the Big Runaway.
  • Fort Antes fut le nom de la fortification entourant la demeure du colonel John Henry Antes, construite vers 1778 en Pennsylvanie durant la Révolution américaine. Le fort a été construit sous la direction du colonel Antes, qui était membre de la milice pennsylvanienne. Il se trouvait sur la rive Est du ruisseau d'Antes, surplombant sur sa rive gauche la branche Ouest de la Susquehanna, sur un plateau de la commune de Nippenose, au sud de l'actuelle ville de Jersey Shore, dans la partie occidentale du comté de Lycoming. La milice locale a tenu le fort pendant un court laps de temps jusqu'à ce qu'il a été ordonné d'abandonner le fort Antes au cours du Big Runaway (« Grande Fuite ») par le colonel Samuel Hunter. Bien qu'abandonné et que les forces anglaises aient essayé, par deux fois, de le brûler, le Fort Antes a été l'une des deux seules constructions de la vallées à subsister après le Big Runaway.
