The monument erected here honors the three militiamen who arrested Major Andre on this spot as he was travelling back to the British lines on Sept. 23, 1780. In Andre's boot they discovered the plans of West Point. Their officers would later recognize the handwriting as Arnold's.

The stream that flows through the park was once called Clark's Kill, but has since been renamed Andre Brook.
