D’Aboville’s Headquarters

Colonel D’Aboville set up headquarters here near his artillery park. Plantation buildings then existed belonging to Secretary Nelson’s “Quarter.”

As ranking artillery officer in Rochambeau’s command, D’Aboville played a major role in the Siege in which superior cannon fire counted heavily.
