Revolutionary War Patriots
Inscription
The Revolutionary War (1775-1783) was our nation’s fight for independence from Great Britain to establish a new country with a government based on equality, justice, and humanity. Patriots from all corners of what would become the State of Vermont left their families and homes to take up arms for the right to govern themselves.
This marker honors and remembers the known and unknown Revolutionary War Patriots who were willing to sacrifice their lives and fortunes in support of independence.
Documentation has recorded as many as 270 Patriots are buried in Chittenden County, including Gov. Thomas Chittenden and militia leader Ethan Allen. Research continues to record every Patriot.
