Cemetery / Command Officer’s Quarters
The two mounds of stones inside the square formed by the granite posts, were thought to be the camp cemetery. Accordingly, a memorial marker was erected to mark the site in 1902.
Archaeology work has proven this site to be that of a double-ended (two chimneys) officer’s quarters. Further research has pointed to the distinct probability that the hut belonged to Lt. Col. Henry Dearborn.
Marker can be reached from the intersection of Putnam Park Road (Connecticut Route 58) and Connecticut Route 107, on the right when traveling south.
