White Marsh Battlefield

Site of the Battle of White Marsh, a pitched battle between French and English forces during the Revolutionary War. The original fortifications have been painstakingly excavated and preserved, and a partial reconstruction erected nearby, its battlements host to several replica artillery pieces of the period, and the occasional re-enactment staged on public holidays for the entertainment of visitors. Most of the park consists of paths, picnic areas, and woodland for the enjoyment of tourists, with a central monument celebrating the English defeat. During the summer months there is sometimes a small team of archaeologists from CBSU or the local historical society conducting a survey or small-scale excavation hoping to address some abstruse question of minor academic interest.
