Continental Supply Depot Site (Downtown Danbury)

The area in and around central Danbury where the Continental Army maintained the supply depot that made the town a British military target in April 1777. The depot held tents, flour, pork, clothing, and military stores for Continental forces. The British raid under General William Tryon destroyed an estimated 4,000 barrels of pork and beef, 5,000 bushels of grain, and military equipment essential to the coming campaign season. No original structures survive; the site is marked by historical signage.
