Four divisions passed through, each one night apart, starting with the Bourbonnais on June 21, then the Royal Deux-Ponts, then the Soissonnais, and finally the Saintonge division, on successive nights.[3]{{rp|E3}} One of Rochambeau's aides described Windham at the time as "a charming market town, where, incidentally, there were many pretty women at whose homes we passed the afternoon very agreeably." Of the camp site, he wrote, "A mile away is a beautiful river (the Shetucket) with a fine wooden bridge. We camped on its banks very comfortably, though hardly militarily."[3] The camp site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1] The next campsite to the west is also NRHP-listed, as Fifth Camp of Rochambeau's Infantry. On the army's return trip in 1782, its 47th camp site (also NRHP-listed) was at a different location in Windham.[3]{{rp|E4}} The site is one of multiple properties whose possible listing on the National Register was covered in a 2001 study.[4] See also
