October 16, 1780

To terrorize the valley from Tunbridge to Royalton, nearly 300 Indians led by a British officer fell on these defenseless frontier settlements, killing 4, taking 26 prisoners, & reducing Royalton to ashes. The captives hauled back to Canada were sold for $8.00 a head. This was the most calamitous of Vermont's many Indian raids.

Marker is at the intersection of Vermont Route 14 and Bridge Street, on the right when traveling east on State Route 14.
