Hubbardton

East Creek Road (American Retreat Route)

Trail · East Creek Rd, Hubbardton, VT

The historic road through the Hubbardton area along which the retreating American army passed after the fall of Ticonderoga and along which Warner's rear guard made its stand. The road today passes through the same hill country the soldiers crossed in the summer of 1777 — a landscape of rounded Vermont hills, stone walls, and forest that has changed relatively little in character.

Hubbardton Battlefield State Historic Site

Battlefield · 5696 Monument Rd, Hubbardton, VT 05743

The site of the Battle of Hubbardton on July 7, 1777 — the only Revolutionary War battle fought entirely on Vermont soil. American rear-guard forces under Colonel Seth Warner and Colonel Ebenezer Francis checked the British pursuit after Burgoyne captured Fort Ticonderoga. The battlefield is preserved largely as it was in 1777, with views of the hills across which the British advanced. A small museum and interpretive markers explain the engagement.

Hubbardton Battlefield Visitor Center

Museum · 5696 Monument Rd, Hubbardton, VT 05743

The small museum at the Hubbardton Battlefield interprets the battle and its role in Burgoyne's campaign. The collection includes maps, weapons, and artifacts recovered from the site. The center explains why a tactical defeat here — the Americans eventually withdrew — was strategically significant: Warner's stand delayed Burgoyne's pursuit long enough for the American army to regroup.

Hubbardton Township Historical Museum

Museum · Hubbardton, VT 05743

Hubbardton is one of the least populated and most rural towns in Vermont, and its small historical museum reflects the community that occupied this landscape before, during, and after the Revolution. The exhibits cover the township's settlement, the battle, and the farming culture that sustained the community for two centuries. The museum provides context for why men settled this remote corner of Vermont and why they fought to defend it.

Seth Warner Monument

Monument · 5696 Monument Rd, Hubbardton, VT 05743

A monument at the Hubbardton Battlefield commemorating Colonel Seth Warner and the men of the Green Mountain Boys who fought the rear-guard action on July 7, 1777. Warner was one of Vermont's most important Revolutionary military figures — he had been among the Green Mountain Boys who captured Fort Ticonderoga with Ethan Allen in 1775 and now commanded the rear guard as Ticonderoga was evacuated two years later.
