This is a pretty good article on the subject. The monument shown in the picture is located inside the cemetary. The cemetary is (appropriately) located on the former site of the fort. There is a house on the hill just outside of town, Coloniel Alden was in that house, spending the night with the daughter of some commanding officer, when the Indians and British attacked. He ran out of the house with only one boot on, and was tommahawked in the back of the head on his way towards the fort. There is a marker on the hill between the house and the cemetary where he fell (they aren't sure this is the 100% exact location, but this is the best guess). There is also a civil war monument. That is large pointed stone in the middle of town (near the only redlight). It used to be in the center of the intersection. Route 20 at one point before the Great Depression ran through town. Back then was the heyday. Sometimes you can see ruins of bungalow motels along route 20. People used to stop and sleep at these places because traveling used to take much more time before the interstate system was built. Good Job! This is a pretty good article on the subject.
