Thank you Linda Radtke for the wonderful program last night! Linda’s program was an educational, insightful and heartfelt tribute to the suffragists from the mid-1800’s to the 1920’s. Thanks to their unflagging dedication and unending hard work, women have enjoyed the right to vote for 100 years now. I left the program feeling a deep appreciation for these women, and am incredibly thankful for equal voting rights. Get out and vote this coming November! It is a hard-fought right that should be exercised at every opportunity!

🔅Joint Gathering of Franklin & Grand Isle County Historical Societies 🔅
Saturday, 10/1, 9am
Interfaith Food Shelf, Church St., Sheldon VT (next to Methodist Church)
If a member of Enosburgh Historical Society, Please RSVP to: [email protected]
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Members of Franklin and Grand Isle County Historical Societies are cordially invited to meet on Saturday, October 1st in Sheldon. This is the first opportunity Sheldon has had to host our annual get-together! It's an important gathering: a wonderful opportunity to share ideas, information, and insights; but especially is this a chance to renew acquaintances in an atmosphere of shared interests.
The meeting will convene at 9AM Saturday, October 1 at the Sheldon Interfaith Foodshelf (beside the Methodist Church) on Church Street, Sheldon Creek. Participants will have a chance to highlight events and activities in their respective society. Our keynote presentation by Harold Smith and Fern Mercure investigates the meteoric rise and dramatic collapse of Sheldon's fashionable mineral spring resorts.
We'll enjoy brunch at the foodshelf before adjourning a few dozen yards down Church Street to the Sheldon Historical Society's new home and museum, where we can continue to explore ideas and share resources.

The fire tower at Allis State Park. This park was established in 1928, the second state park in Vermont. (Mount Philo was the first VT State Park.) It was developed by the Civilian Conservation Corps beginning in 1932.
This is one of only a handful of fire towers in the state, and an easily accessible one, as there is a road leading right to the tower.

The bath house at St. Albans Bay Park is quite beautiful. This was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1933.

The Floating Bridge in Brookfield, VT
Text: Since 1820, eight versions of the Floating Bridge have spanned Sunset Lake, each serving as a unique gateway to Brookfield Village. Previous versions of the bridge were constructed with a variety of materials, including massive timbers, 50-gallon barrels, and Styrofoam. The eighth version opened in 2015 and was intended to reflect the overall design and aesthetics of the previous crossings, but is constructed with a state of the art flotation system to allow for easier maintenance and segmental replacement. Brookfield’s is the only floating bridge in Vermont, and remains an important community landmark and gathering place for the town.
Check out the interesting and informative Brookfield Historical Society website for more information on the floating bridge:
