Timothy Murphy, a celebrated marksman in Colonel Morgan’s Rifle Corps, was credited with turning the tide of battle by killing the British General Frazer on October 7, 1777, helping make that fight one of the world’s decisive battles. The site also honors the heroic deeds of hundreds of other soldiers of Irish blood who gave their lives on this bloody field so that the United States might be triumphant. A two-hundred-foot-square plot was purchased by the A.O.H. on September 20, 1913, and it was rededicated on July 4, 1976.
