Fodor's Review:

At this site are the remnants of a Revolutionary War fort whose American defenders were massacred in 1781 by British troops under the command of the American traitor Benedict Arnold. The 134-foot-tall Groton Battle Monument is a memorial to those who lost their lives; you can climb it for a sweeping view of the shoreline. The adjacent Monument House Museum has historic displays.
