This is the site of the Storer Garrison where the English settlers of the Town of Wells took refuge during a 4-day attack by French and Indian troops on the town in 1692. There is a monument in a small park to commemorate the event which reads:To commemorate the defence of Liet. Joseph Storers garrison on this ground by Capt. James Converse, 29 Massachusetts soldiers, the neighboring Yeomanry of Wells, and various heroic women, June 9, 10 and 11 1992. Whereby 400 French and indians were successfully resisted and Wells remained the Easternmost town in the province not destroyed by the enemy.My familys ancestor Jeremiah Storer was there with Joseph defending the garrison while another brother, Samuel Storer, commanded a ship at anchor in Wells Harbor, from which ship a shot was fired that killed the French general.
