Ethan Allen Homestead Enrichment Program: Bennington Battlefield Locations Revealed with Bob Hoar 08/21/2022

From the Ethan Allen Homestead:

On August 16, 1777, the Green Mountain Boys joined American rebel forces and faced off against the professional British army near Bennington, VT. This battle was part of the larger Saratoga campaign and contributed to a major turning point in the Revolutionary War that helped lead to an American victory. But how did the American rebels near Bennington defeat the strongest and richest army in the world at the time? Former park docent and history presenter Bob Hoar explains the battle and battlefield in a visual presentation of little-known battlefield locations. What happened at these locations over two hundred years ago helped lead to America as we know it today.

Reinterment Ceremony for War of 1812 Soldiers 06/04/2022

From Preservation Burlington:

During the War of 1812, Burlington was used as a supply depot, campground, and major hospital site by the United States Army. Research shows that the military owned property in what is now the Old North End of Burlington between North Street and Pearl Street including Battery Park. The area was referred to as "Camp Burlington" and housed approximately 3,000 to 4,500 troops at various times between 1812 and 1815.

As a result of road construction along North Street by VTrans between 2002 and 2005, the remains of 20+ soldiers were excavated. In 2020, a housing construction project on Elmwood Avenue uncovered another 17 graves; 7 of the remains were excavated. An estimated 500 soldiers are believed to have been buried in Burlington between 1812 and 1815, and military records indicate that more than 550 soldiers died in Burlington. A columbarium and headstone have been placed by the City of Burlington in Lakeview Cemetery as the final resting place for the 30 exhumed soldiers.

The Army National Guard's Honor Guard perform the military funerary ceremony and the Agency of Commerce and Community Development Secretary Lindsay Kurrle accepts the flag on behalf of Vermonters.
