Fort Ranger was a historical picket fort located near Rutland, Vermont, United States. The fort was constructed prior to May 1779.[1] Fort Ranger served as the headquarters for the Vermont state force during the American Revolutionary War.[2] Thomas Chittenden ordered Captain Thomas Sawyer to command Fort Ranger and scout for any British incursion from the north or near Lake Champlaign.[1]
After the war, Fort Ranger was used for community gatherings.[3] In 1903, a marble fountain was placed at the site of Fort Ranger by the Daughters of the American Revolution.[4] Nothing remains of the site of Fort Ranger today.[5]
