It was an important stopping point for emissaries of the Iroquois, and eastern and western Delawares. The Hunter House, built on the site of Fort Augusta, is located in Sunbury, Pennsylvania and is now a museum, including permanent exhibits on the prehistoric and historic significance of the site, county specific artifacts, and a schedule of changing exhibits that highlight various aspects of county history.
