A day at Goffle brook park

Recently, I came across a historic memorial spot, while i was hiking at Goffle brook park. The memorial is symbolizing Ryerson-Lafayette house. this house was used by generals like Marquis de Lafayette. the significance of this house is, its very early build and the role it played during the American Revolution. According to the history, the main encampment of general George Washington and Marquis de Lafayette had held a very short distance from the house, along the Goffle brook. Unfortunately, the house faced a terrible accident, during 1950. the house was burned down. currently the town is honoring its memory with a memorial.
