A monument erected through the efforts of General Lafayette Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, marks the site of the Battle of Chestnut Neck. The Minute Man at its top faces the river, still guarding the shore against the approaching enemy. It is a beautiful monument, worthy of the men it honors.
