Mount Independence October Hike into History
October 8, 2022 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Enjoy autumn in Vermont with a hike into history at the Mount Independence State Historic Site in Orwell, Vermont from 1–4 p.m.
Stephen Zeoli, president of the Mount Independence Coalition, will be your guide. The hike is included in regular site admission of $6.00 for adults and free for those under 15 and rounds out the 2022 season—which ends on Sunday, October 9.
Stephen Zeoli is known for his special knowledge of Mount Independence history and his storytelling. He will show you many points of Revolutionary War interest as the site and the nation gear up for the 250th anniversary in 2026 of the Declaration of Independence and the building of Mount Independence.
Zeoli, a former caretaker at the site, is one of the editors of the Coalition’s recent book, Strong Ground: Mount Independence and the American Revolution, and author of the short book, Mount Independence: The Enduring Legacy of a Unique Place. Wear sturdy shoes, bring water, and dress for the weather.
Mount Independence is located at 497 Mount Independence Road, Orwell. A National Historic Land- mark, it is one of the best-preserved Revolutionary War archaeological sites in America. The site is open Tuesday through Sunday, 10 am to 5 pm through October 11. Call (802) 948-2000 for more information.
