Memorials
Montgomery's home in Rhinebeck, New York is now the General Montgomery House, a historic house museum moved from Montgomery Street to 77 Livingston Street. The oldest structure in the Village of Rhinebeck, the building is also used for monthly meetings of the Chancellor Livingston Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The United States Navy has named a number of ships USS Montgomery over the years, including a frigate that was begun in 1776, and burned before completion to prevent its capture by the British.
The liberty ship SS Richard Montgomery remains sunk in the Thames Estuary. Its cargo of 3,173 tons of munitions continues to pose a threat to the local area.
In Philadelphia, there is a statue of Montgomery in Fairmount Park, near the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
