Established early in 1861 with emplacements for three 32 pounder seacoast cannons. Battery Vermont was constructed before the Virginia shore of the Potomac was occupied by Union troops. It had a good view of the Leesburg turnpike. In December 1863 a Commission recommend the substitution of rifled guns for the 32 pounders, to bear on Leesburg turnpike but by 1864 that had not happened.
