The battle site is near the shores of Lovewell Pond, east of the village center. A granite monument marks the approximate location of the fight. The area is quiet now -- mostly woods and shoreline -- and the monument sees few visitors, which gives it an undisturbed quality appropriate to what happened there.
The historical significance is layered. For colonial New England, Lovewell became a celebrated martyr, the subject of popular ballads that spread through the region for decades afterward. From the Abenaki perspective, the battle marked the destruction of a community that had inhabited the Saco River valley for generations. Thoreau wrote about Lovewell's Fight in "A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers," which gives the site a small literary footnote alongside its historical one.
