History
editEarly history
editTheBurlington Free Pressbegan as a weekly publication on June 15, 1827. It was created by lawyers Seneca Austin and Luman Foote in response to the1828 presidential election cycle.The Burlington Sentinel,another Burlington newspaper, favoredAndrew Jacksonwhile the Free Press, under Austin and Foote, supported incumbentPresident John Quincy Adams.[5]
The format of the weeklyBurlington Free Presswas four pages, with five columns of copy on each page. The paper itself was 18 inches long.[6]The weekly newspaper published every Friday.
TheBurlington Free Pressbecame a daily newspaper on April 1, 1848, in response to the invention of thetelegraphthat brought more up-to-date news to the Burlington area. The first telegraph message was received in Burlington on February 2, 1848.[7][8]
Editor DeWitt Clinton Clarke (1846-1853) made the following statement regarding the telegraph:
"We trust it did not escape the notice of our readers that our Saturday evening's paper contained news from New York of that very afternoon – half past two o'clock! The wonders achieved by the telegraph are absolutely incredible if one attempts to reflect on the subject."[7]
The dailyBurlington Free Presswas published in the evening every day except Sunday to offset the leading Burlington morning paper,The Daily Sentinel.[7]The weekly edition was continued on Fridays until March 29, 1923.[6][9]
The format of the dailyBurlington Free Pressconsisted of one column of editorial, three columns of political and general news, half a column of state and local news and 100 words or less of telegraphic news (reported from afar and transferred via telegraph toBurlington). 15 columns were dedicated to advertisements and "uncalled for letters", a list of people who had not collected their mail from the postmaster.[10]
The dailyBurlington Free Presspaper cost subscribers $4 a year and was not an immediate success. It had only 275 subscribers in its first year. The population of Burlington was 7,000 at the time.[8]Compare this to the weekly Burlington Free Press which had a circulation of 1,200.
Early coverage included letters from the battlefields of theCivil War,women's suffrageandprohibition.[5]
Under ownership of George Wyllys Benedict and his sonGeorge G. Benedict(owners 1853–1897), the paper was strongly and vocally opposed toslavery,which was the issue of the day.[8]
In 1868, the Free Press Association was formed and purchased theBurlington Daily Times,a daily morning newspaper founded by formerBurlington Free Pressowner and editor DeWitt Clinton Clarke after he sold theBurlington Free Pressin 1853 to G.W. Benedict.[7][9]TheBurlington Free Pressabsorbed theBurlington Daily Timesand was suddenly publishing both a morning and an evening edition.[8]
In 1872,The Daily Sentinel,theBurlington Free Press'major competitor in the morning newspaper market closed its doors. The Free Press ceased publishing the evening edition and continued as a morning paper in 1882. In 1890, circulation of the daily Free Press was 3,250.[8]
In 1894, the Free Press employedWalter J. Bigelowas night editor.[11]He remained in this position until 1909. ARepublican,he served asmayor of Burlingtonfrom 1907 to 1909.[11]The Free Press installed the firstLinotypeprinting press in Vermont in 1895.[6]
In 1900, circulation of the daily Free Press was 4,649. That increased to 7,366 in 1907, 8,569 in 1914 and 11,459 in 1922.[8]In the end of 1922, theBurlington Free Pressstopped publication of the Friday weekly edition.[6]In 1927, the Free Press had 14,468 subscribers.[7]
Photo-engraving was added to theBurlington Free Press'capabilities in 1929 and the paper was able to produce photo news coverage.[6]
In 1932, the circulation of the daily Free Press was 16,554 and increased to 23,500 only fifteen years later in 1947.[8]In 1950, the Free Press had 26,703 subscribers. That number rose to 33,225 in 1962.[7]
In the 1960s and 1970s, TheBurlington Free Pressremained aRepublicannewspaper in a state that was slowly moving across the political spectrum towardDemocratic.The Free Press stood behindRichard Nixonthroughout theWatergate scandal.[5]
TheBurlington Free Pressmerged with Gannett. Co., Inc. based inRochester, N.Y.in 1971.[12]
The Sunday edition of theBurlington Free Presswas introduced in 1975 and it became the first seven-day newspaper in Vermont.[12]

Headquarters
editFrom the creation of the Burlington Free Press in 1827 to 1833, the offices were located in Burlington, Vermont on the north side of Court House Square, now City Hall Park, on College St. between Church and St. Paul Streets.[6][9]
In 1833, new owner Henry B. Stacy built new offices on College Street between South Winooski Avenue and Church Street. He retained the upper floors of the building as a residence for his family.[6]
The offices on College Street continued to grow, and additional space surrounding the building was purchased until it comprised twelve buildings. The buildings were connected by ramps, tunnels and sky-walks to allow freedom of movement for workers in the winter months.[5]
In September 2013, seven of the twelve buildings were sold to the Handy family. The Burlington Free Press held on to the five buildings on South Winooski Ave. that housed the printing press, mail room and circulation department.[5]
On January 20, 2014, the Burlington Free Press offices moved from College Street to occupy the new facility at 100 Bank St.[5]
In 2021, the Burlington Free Press moved out of offices in downtown Burlington to leased space in nearby Williston, VT.[3]
