Storer Garrison State Historic Site Details
Now only a small commemorative plaque, the Storer Garrison State Historic Site is worth a visit to learn of the early tumultuous history that once was commonplace here. When colonists first moved to the region they encountered numerous difficulties. Apart from simply trying to survive, their biggest enemy, the Native Americans, partnered with the French, creating a daily threat. In response, the more significant properties were transformed into garrisons. The Storer Garrison Plaque commemorates once such assault through which the Storer house, and settlers, triumphed.
