Newtown Battlefield State Park
[2][4] The American Battlefield Trust and its partners have acquired and preserved more than 68 acres adjacent to the state park.[5] The Newtown Battlefield is located along the eastern bank of the Chemung River, in western New York southeast of Elmira.The main trail followed by Sullivan's troops had to pass near the steep hillside, which was only 1,000 feet (300 m) from the river.After cannonading the Iroquois position, Sullivan sent troops up Baldwin Creek, which skirts the hill to the east.A narrow column of white granite known as the Newton Battlefield Monument was erected on top of Sullivan Hill in 1912.
