Vermont Memories III
VERMONT MEMORIES III (DVD)
Vanished Images
1 Hour
Item# VT454
$19.95


Photographers, folklorists and historians have long recorded images and stories of Vermont's past. The days of one-room school houses, farming from sun-up to sun-down, and barn raisings are important pieces of Vermont's history. But there are many lesser-know (and sometimes curious!) images which also illustrated important events in their time. Gathered here are some seldom-heard stories which may surprise you — even if you're a history buff!

Have you heard about the Catamount Tavern, where Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys plotted against the Yorkers? Did you know that elephants used to bathe in the Connecticut River? Or that women worked Vermont's logging camps alongside the "jacks"? Do you have a clue to the great mystery that still surrounds the fiery demise of the Waterbury Inn? And where do you think Henry Ford stopped for provisions en route to his Adirondack camp? These and other fascinating stories are just a few of the vanished images in Vermont's history.
