Vermont’s historic sites, museums, re-enactors and educational groups are telling the stories of Vermont in the Civil War. The stories are of deeds on the homefront and on the battlefront: Vermonters who assisted former slaves; men and women who worked in mills and factories supplying the North with needed arms, blankets and clothing; girls and women who volunteered in aid societies; citizens who defended Vermont in the northern-most land action of the war on Vermont soil; and the Vermont regiments who fulfilled the state’s pledge to serve “full duty” and distinguished themselves on multiple battlefronts. Vermont welcomes you to explore this unique Civil War history. For events, places to visit, resources and more, visit www.vermontcivilwar150.com . |
