March Route of Rochambeau's Army: Ridgebury Road is a historic site in Ridgefield, Connecticut. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1] It is along the march route taken by French Army troops under General Rochambeau in 1781. It is a 1,600-foot section of the Ridgebury Road; the defined property is about 50 feet wide with stone walls on either side. It was travelled by Rochambeau's army in 1781, and the current appearance in this section is much the same now as it was then.[2]
