On August 3, 1808, an engagement on the Winooski River between U.S. customs agents and potash smugglers resulted in lives lost. Come join us to learn not only what happened but who was involved. Walk to the spot on the river to imagine what it was like at that time and view the historic marker commemorating this event.
