Features
This park features a memorial to Deborah Sampson, who was born in Plympton in 1760. After disguising herself as a man, Sampson became the only woman to earn a full military pension for participation in the Revolutionary Army. Sampson was honorably discharged in 1783 and then resumed a more typical life, at home on the farm with her husband and three children.
