This wayside shrine marks the place where on September 14 1779 two young soldiers of the revolution Lieutenant Thomas Boyd and Sergeant Michael Parker met death undaunted in the line of duty. After lingering torture they marked with their blood the western limit in the state of New York of the great struggle for American freedom.
