This is 4 of 7 posts of photographs that I took during a recent trip to Putnam Memorial State Park in Redding, CT.

5. MEMORIAL MONUMENT – Constructed in 1888, one year after the commissioning of the memorial park, this monument honors the men of the three different camps in Redding during that winter of 1778-79. The monument was the very first structure erected at the park. The visitor can read the names of the different brigade generals who commanded the camps under Major General Israel Putnam’s command.
