About this postcard

A stone observation tower with a crenellated top and a flagpole flying the American flag rises above a dense stand of evergreen and deciduous trees. The printed caption identifies it as the Ethan Allen Tower overlooking Lake Champlain at Burlington, Vermont. The tower stands in Battery Park, a hilltop site associated with Revolutionary War defenses of the town, and commemorates Ethan Allen, leader of the Green Mountain Boys; the lake itself lies beyond the trees and is not visible in this view.
