Site
of French Fort Ste. Anne
Vermont's
oldest settlement
On
this shore was the site of Fort Ste. Anne built in 1666 by Capt. Pierre La
Motte for the defense against the Mohawks. The
Jesuits
celebrated the first Mass and erected the first Chapel. Though not permanent,
this stockade was Vermont's first white
settlement.
