History of the Quechee Inn at Marshland Farms

Who built the Quechee Inn?

Colonel Joseph Marsh, born in 1726 in Connecticut moved to "New Connecticut" as Vermont was known in 1772. He became lieutenant-colonel and then colonel of a Vermont regiment in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War. His Northern or Upper regiment of Cumberland County was sent to relieve the soldiers after the Battle of Bennington. Marsh himself is said to have escorted some soldiers to Fort No. 4 in nearby Charlestown, New Hampshire.

He became a member of the Vermont State Convention in 1777. Soon after, he became Lieutenant Governor and served in the State General Assembly for 10 years. The house was built on land close to the Ottauquechee River. Some called it the "Baronial Mansion", but Colonel Marsh simply called it Marshland.

Marsh married Dorothy Mason in 1750 and the couple had 11 children, including James who became the president of the University of Vermont. His grandson George would be one of the founders of the Smithsonian Institution. Colonel Joseph Marsh died in 1811.
