“The site of the only Revolutionary War battle fought on Vermont soil, on the morning of July 7, 1777. Seth Warner's Green Mountain Boys turned and fought the British advance guard here while the main American column escaped south from Fort Ticonderoga. The hayfields and stone walls are still on the ridge, much as they were.

A little of what's known, in case you fall down the rabbit hole — or want to go see it yourself.
— the place

Hubbardton Battlefield occupies roughly 200 acres of preserved hill farm and woodland in the town of Hubbardton, Rutland County, in west-central Vermont. The site marks the only Revolutionary War battle fought within the boundaries of present-day Vermont, on July 7, 1777, when a rear-guard force under Seth Warner held off pursuing British and Brunswicker troops under Brigadier Simon Fraser. The state has owned the land since 1937 and operates a visitor center with a relief map of troop positions.

— the visit

The battlefield is open to visitors from late May through mid-October, with a small admission fee for the museum and free access to the walking trails on the ridge. An annual commemoration takes place near the July 7 anniversary, with reenactors in period dress and a wreath ceremony at the monument. The visitor center sits about seven miles north of the town of Castleton, off Monument Hill Road, signposted from U.S. Route 4 near the village of Hubbardton.

— informed by Vermont Historic Sites
— the silence

The land has been quietly farmed since the late 1700s, and the surrounding ridge has changed less than most Revolutionary War sites in the eastern United States. Stone walls, hayfields, and scattered sugar maples mark the ground where roughly 1,200 men fought for under an hour. Bird traffic, including bobolinks and meadowlarks, is heavier than human traffic on most days. The Taconic Mountains run along the western horizon, and the small white farmhouse opposite the lot is private.

A few questions we get about Hubbardton Battlefield — and about bringing the piece home.
— about the place

On July 7, 1777, American rear-guard troops under Seth Warner held off British and Brunswicker forces under Simon Fraser, covering the main American retreat from Fort Ticonderoga. It was the only Revolutionary War battle fought on Vermont soil.

Tactically the British held the field, but the rear-guard action delayed the pursuit long enough for the main American column to reach safety in Rutland. Both sides took heavy losses for the size of the force engaged.

Roughly 1,200 men were engaged in total: about 600 Americans under Warner and Ebenezer Francis, against a similar number of British regulars, German Brunswickers, and Loyalist troops under Brigadier Simon Fraser.

Yes. The State of Vermont has owned the core 213 acres of the battlefield since 1937, and the ridge looks much as it did in 1777: hayfields, stone walls, and scattered sugar maples on quiet farmland.

The visitor center is open from late May through mid-October, with a small admission fee. The walking trails on the ridge are open during daylight hours through the rest of the year, free of charge.

A commemoration is held near the July 7 anniversary each year, with reenactors in period dress, musket demonstrations, and a wreath ceremony at the monument. It is organized in cooperation with the Vermont Historic Sites program.

— about the piece in your home

The battlefield holds quiet significance for descendants of Warner's regiment and for students of the Saratoga campaign. A Small or Medium with a handwritten studio note travels well for either.

The piece reads naturally in a colonial-revival, library-traditional, or warm-modern New England setting. Its hayfield-and-stone-wall palette sits well beside walnut, pewter, and homespun linen.

The piece fits the steady early-American and Federal-revival mood that has held its place for decades, and reads cleanly against more contemporary farmhouse and rustic-modern rooms.

A single Large centres well above a standard sofa. A 4-tile Mural extends the ridge view across a longer wall, and a 9-tile Mural anchors a great room or library.

Yes, in the Dura Satin or Matte finish. Both resist scratching and humidity. The Glossy finish is reserved for wall pieces in drier rooms.

Microfibre cloth and water. The colour is slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, so it cannot lift or fade with normal cleaning.

Yes. Every WenderVista piece comes from Reid Wender's eye and is hand-finished in our Knoxville studio. We do not license, resell, or reproduce work from outside artists.
