Monuments and Shrines

St. Anne's shrine on Isle La Motte is located on the site of Fort St. Anne; Vermont's oldest settlement - 1666.
Among the many statues on the shrine grounds is a 15 foot gold-leafed statue of Our Lady of Lourdes.
The whole of Crab Island is a memorial dedicated to recognizing those killed in the Battle of Plattsburg, September 11, 1814 as Officers, Soldiers and Sailors from both the American and British fleets are buried there.
We followed the trail very carefully to view the many memorials on Crab Island as one plaque describes the 3 different types of poison ivy growing in profusion there - even a climbing ivy variety!
