Indian Stones, Historic memorial stones in Reading, Vermont
The Indian Stones consist of carved stone markers embedded in a granite slab, located along Route 106 in Reading, Vermont.
Elizabeth Captive Johnson commissioned these stones in 1799 to mark the location where she was born during the French and Indian War captivity.
The stones represent the complex relationship between Native American tribes, particularly the Abenaki, and European settlers during the colonial period.
Visitors can find the Indian Stones directly adjacent to State Highway 106, marked by interpretive signs explaining their historical context.
These stones rank among the oldest commemorative markers in Vermont, preserving the memory of a birth during Native American captivity.
