A small monument erected in 1901 marked the site of Fort Dummer, but it was moved seven years later when the Vernon Dam was built on the Connecticut River, which flooded the area. It is now located near a dirt pull off at the intersection of Vernon Street and Cotton Mill Hill. A granite headstone for Susanna Willard, wife of Lt. Wilder Willard, who died in 1763 at the age of 28, is also there.
