Steuben Memorial State Historic Site

Steuben Memorial State Historic Site is a 53-acre memorial in rural surroundings featuring a monumental tomb, a rebuilt log cabin, and stone markers. The grounds are integrated into the surrounding landscape and present various structures commemorating a historical figure from the American Revolution.

A Prussian officer received this land grant as recognition for training the Continental Army during the American Revolution. The memorial was later established to preserve his legacy and impact on the nation's early military development.

The site honors a Prussian officer whose legacy appears in the stone monuments and rebuilt structures throughout the grounds. Visitors can experience how his contribution to early American military training is commemorated in this rural setting.

The grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset between May and October, and admission is free. Guided tours are available, and the site is accessible by car with walkable paths for exploring the memorial.

On these grounds stands a replica of a two-room log cabin where a key historical figure spent his final summers before his death. This reconstruction allows visitors to imagine the daily conditions and living environment of this important person.
