DERBY — An historic designation sign on Route 34 at the corner of Sentinel Hill Road, which had been missing for almost a year, has been replaced.
The sign says that French troops encamped on Sentinel Hill in June 1781 as they marched through the Valley on their way to the Battle of Yorktown (Va.) during the Revolutionary War.
They were under the command of Duc de Lauzun and had marched through Connecticut after leaving from Newport, R.I.
