Plaque

Benedict Arnold

Erection date: 1987

Inscription

Major General Benedict Arnold, American patriot, resided here from 1796 until his death, June 14, 1801.

"American patriot" is a bit rich, for a turncoat. This is where he died.

2014: the US ambassador, no less, is investigating this plaque. And NBC have some answers.
