commemorative park. Aftermath Two days later the ambush site was discovered by Sullivan’s army and the men were buried with military honors. The army went on, as instructed by George Washington, to destroy acres of crops and burn Little Beard’s town to the ground. Many of the men in the army were so impressed with the agricultural value of the land that they returned with their families to this region after the war. Memorials The bodies of Boyd and his men were left at the site of the battlefield until 1841, when they were re-interred at Rochester, New York's Mount Hope Cemetery in a ceremony hosted by New York Governor William H. Seward. Today the Groveland Ambuscade Monument marks the site along with a small town park, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009. In September 2004 the site commemorated the event's 225th anniversary with a series of reenactments.
