St. Albans Raid
The Civil War entered Vermont, October 19, 1864, when 22 Confederates spread terror from the north, robbed three banks and shot up the town. Stealing horses, they fled back into Canada. There, after trial, they were freed and the banks partially reimbursed.
Marker is on South Main Street (U.S. 7) north of Fairfield Street (Vermont Route 36), on the right when traveling north.
