Description

Photo collections include various sport teams, Flood of 1927, past and present photos of various buildings and many other interesting photos.

Winooski has an important role in Vermont’s history and development. In the early 1770’s Ira Allen “led a people through a wilderness of 70 miles” to construct a formidable blockhouse on the Winooski (then “Onion”) River, which served both as a fort and as a general store and office for the land-speculating Onion River Company. “Fort Frederick” was never used for defense, but its protective presence increased the value of Onion River property and advanced local settlement.
