Legacy
A street in Albany, New York, bordering Washington Park is named for Willett. A memorial plaque commemorating Willett was fixed to a boulder in 1907 in the park. The boulder was struck many times by vehicles missing a sharp turn in the park along Henry Johnson Boulevard. The boulder and its plaque was moved from the traffic island to the corner of State and Willett Streets in 2006 to give the memorial a safer place in anticipation of the park's 200th anniversary. He is buried in the New York City Marble Cemetery.
