Phillips' Ranger Monument - Real Northwest of Saxton Haunt

During the Revolutionary War a battle occurred on these grounds. It was the Iroquois who fought on behalf of the British. The rangers were outnumbered by the natives and eventually surrendered. Many of the rangers were tortured and then slaughtered while tied to trees. Many say their spirits continue to exist here, and they make there presence known especially on the anniversary of battle (July 16).

The monument to remember this historic event was built in 1926 and is located about a half mile east of the Hester blockhouse.
