The massacre was depicted by the Scottish poet Thomas Campbell in his 1809 poem "Gertrude of Wyoming".
 Because of the atrocities involved, Campbell described Joseph Brant as a "monster" in the poem, although it was later determined that Brant was not present.
Brant was at Oquaga on the day of the attack.

The western state of Wyoming received its name from the U.S. Congress when it became Wyoming Territory in 1868.

The battle and massacre is commemorated each year by the Wyoming Commemorative Association, a local non-profit organization, which holds a ceremony on the grounds of the monument dedicated to the battle.
 The Wyoming Monument is the site of a mass grave containing the bones of many of the victims of the battle and massacre.
 The commemorative ceremonies began in 1878, to mark the 100th anniversary of the battle and massacre.
 The principal speaker at the event was President Rutherford B. Hayes.
During the 100th anniversary commemoration, the people of Wyoming Valley used the motto "An honest tale speeds best when plainly told" in an effort to promote the historical account of the battle.

The annual program has continued each year since then on the grounds.
 One hundred and seventy-eight names of Patriots killed in the battle are listed on the Wyoming Monument, and the names of about a dozen militia who were killed or died in captivity a day or so prior to the main battle.
 A possible explanation for the difference between the number of names on the monument (178) and the reported number of scalps taken in the battle (227) is that allegedly numerous civilians (perhaps as many as 200)—instead of surrendering to Colonel Butler—elected to flee and died of exposure in a swamp known as the "Shades of Death" after the battle.
