Blockhouse Point
From 1777 until 1791, Vermont was its own republic, and bordering British Canada, it was on the borderlines of the American Revolution. During the conflict, British intelligence, aided by a Vermont loyalist named Justice Sherwood, set up a block house fortification on the island of North Hero in 1781. The Blockhouse remained in operation even after the end of the Revolution.
