| 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. |
