At this intersection, known as the Historic Crossroads of the American Revolution, the ground had long been a grassy triangle. In 1908 Charles E. Suffern gave the village a cannon, and a stone wall was built around it. Some residents disliked the new triangle, nicknamed it Porter’s Fort after the mayor, and tried to have it removed. In 1921 the soldier’s statue was erected, and the names of those who served the country since World War I are listed.
