Battle of Hubbardton -- Only Battlefield on Vermont Soil

Rutland County · U.S. Route 4, north to E. Hubbardton, Hubbardton

Only Battlefield on Vermont Soil, July 7, 1777 Here, a successful rear-guard action by Col. Seth Warners Vermont, Mass., and NH troops ended British pursuit under Gens. Frazer and Reidesel. Thus, Gen. St. Clairs American Army safely retreated from Fts. Ticonderoga and Independence to fight again near Bennington and Saratoga. Burgoynes plans for British advance, first resisted at Hubbardton, ended in defeat at Saratoga.
