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 is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In September 2004 the site commemorated the event's 225th anniversary with a series of reenactments.
