Fort Dummer, Colonial fort in Brattleboro, United States.
Fort Dummer covered 180 square feet of land with a wooden stockade and contained 12 guns for defense along the Connecticut River.
Built in 1724 under Lieutenant Timothy Dwight during Dummer's War, the fort marked the first permanent European settlement in what became Vermont.
The fort garrison included 43 Massachusetts militiamen and 12 Mohawk warriors who worked together to protect the northern frontier settlements.
The original fort location now lies underwater due to the Vernon Dam construction, but visitors can view the site from Fort Dummer State Park.
A granite monument commemorating the fort stands one mile south of Brattleboro railway station, relocated in 1908 before the dam flooding.
