Abstract:

Fort Defiance, the Caldwell County home of Revolutionary War General William Lenoir, takes its name from a local frontier fort of the late 1700s. In 1965, the Lenoir family sold the home and all its furnishings to the Caldwell County Historical Society. Now a local historic site, the home has been restored to its 1792 appearance.
