Cemetery/Command Officer’s Quarters

Military
Inside the square formed by the granite posts, two mounds of stones were long thought to be the camp cemetery, and a memorial marker was erected there in 1902. Archaeological work later proved that the site was instead a double-ended officer’s quarters with two chimneys, and further research has indicated a distinct probability that the hut belonged to Lt. Col. Henry Dearborn.
