MPS Rochambeau's Army in Connecticut, 1780-1782 MPS | ||
March Route of Rochambeau's Army: Scotland Road is a historic site along Scotland Road, from intersection with Back Rd. to 80 Scotland Road in Windham, Connecticut. It is a portion of the historic march route of Comte de Rochambeau's army in 1781 and again in 1782. The troops camped beside the road within this segment, in 1782.
Approximately 1700 feet long, the segment is a portion of Connecticut Route 14.
It is along the march route taken by French commander Rochambeau's troops in 1781, on their way to Yorktown, Virginia, and also on the route of their return journey in 1782.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003. The roadway is modern, but the stone walls and views of countryside are much as it would have been in 1781-82.
Multiple other properties whose association with Rochambeau's route is known were also considered for listing on the National Register in a study.
