General David Wooster Monument

Monument to Brigadier General David Wooster, who was mortally wounded at the Battle of Ridgefield on April 27, 1777, while leading Connecticut militia in pursuit of the British force withdrawing from the Danbury raid. Wooster died five days later at age 67. He was one of the oldest general officers to die in the Revolution. His grave is in Danbury, and the monument honors both him and the men who fought to avenge the town's burning.
