The March Route of Rochambeau's Army: Bailey Road is a section of abandoned, old roadway that is a historic site in Bolton, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
It is along the march route taken by French commander Rochambeau's troops in 1781 and is "the most intact and evocative section of Rochambeau's route." Bailey Road originally connected Route 6 with Brandy Street in Bolton but the portion west of the Andover-Bolton town line has since been overgrown and is no longer passable by motor vehicles. A remnant of Bailey Road in Bolton still exists as an unpaved foot path and still retains the characteristic stone walls as well as two original stone culverts.
Multiple other properties whose association with Rochambeau's route is known were also considered for listing on the National Register in a study.
