Legacy
Although the British left a burning powder trail to destroy Fort Griswold's magazine, a daring militiaman entered the fort and extinguished the fire. Both Forts Trumbull and Griswold were extensively modified in the 19th century, and are now preserved in state parks. The Fort Griswold park also includes the Groton Monument, erected in the 1820s to commemorate the battle. Both forts are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
