The Benedict Arnold House where the wounded American Revolutionary War hero stopped to recover, Kinderhook, New York State, United States.

---

The story is told that while travelling from Albany back to his home in Connecticut, the wounded Arnold was carried into this house. The litter was too wide to make the turn into the front room, so a doorpost was cut out to allow access. The marks of the repair can still be seen. The home is privately owned. Plaque says "According to tradition Benedict Arnold was brought here after being wounded at battle of Bemis Heights in 1777"
