Lake Champlain Monuments and Memorials

By: Anastasia Louise Pratt

Covering more than 8,000 squares miles and spanning the roughly triangular area between Quebec; Dorset, Vermont; and Glens Falls, New York, the Champlain Valley has a rich heritage celebrated in hundreds of historical markers, monuments, mosaics, murals, and photographs. Although human inhabitation of the region began 10,000 years ago, these monuments to the past are considerably newer, with the earliest among them recognizing the European colonizers and settlers who followed Samuel de Champlain to the shores of Lake Champlain beginning in the 17th century. By the 18th century, the entire region was populated by villages, towns, and cities, all placed against the backdrop of the surrounding Adirondacks and Green Mountains and finding life in the network of rivers and fertile valleys of the Lake Champlain Basin. This collection brings together images from throughout the Champlain Valley, offering a vision of life and the ways markers celebrate local memories and ancestors.

Winooski

By: Al Blondin,Anastasia Pratt,Winooski Historical Society

Named by the Abenaki Indians, Winooski, which means "land of the wild onion," has enjoyed a long history. Ira and Ethan Allen and their uncle Remember Baker first settled in the area in 1772. Since that settlement, Winooski has hosted various mills and factories, several churches, many stores, and an active community. The Vermont Legislature approved a change of charter in 1921, and the citizens of Winooski voted in favor of incorporating the City of Winooski at their annual meeting in March 1922. The city's mills provided economic support until 1954, when the American Woolen Mill closed. Community Development Block Grants, Urban Development Action Grants, and other investments helped to revitalize Winooski throughout the 1980s, creating new job opportunities and updating the city's buildings and infrastructure. Now, as a designated Refugee Resettlement community, Winooski welcomes refugees from around the world, accommodating various languages and cultural needs. From the blockhouse constructed by the first settlers to the Winooski Block, the vibrant river city remains home to residents who have helped shape the history of Vermont.
