Ethan Allen, Fort,
A garrisoned military post officially established 2 miles from Essex Junction and 5 miles from Burlington, Vt., Sept. 28, 1894, and named in honor of Ethan Allen, the famous leader of the Green Mountain Boys in the Revolutionary War. There are twenty-eight buildings of brick and stone, with slated roofs, including four cavalry stables, four double officers' quarters, four single officers' quarters, two double barracks, a hospital, guard-house, bakery, workshop, a water-tower 80 feet high, built of white Vermont marble, and several storehouses.
The parade-ground covers 50 acres, and there is an excellent rifle range of 1,000 yards. More than $600,000 was expended in creating the post.
The land for the site, which extends over 600 acres, was purchased by Dr. W. Seward Webb, Gov. U. A. Woodbury, Col. E. C. Smith, and other citizens of Vermont and presented to the government.
