Restoring the Historic Streetscape

Thanks to a generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Lathman II, the Historical Society with the help of John and Eileen Badegwick, Trish, Roger and Ben Bromley, David Langsett, Shelley Taylor, John Niles, Zach Fuller, Zach Golden, Bradley Bender, and equipment from Fuller Sand and Gravel, and Abbott Construction planted 45 Red Sunset Maple trees over three years. The trees have bright red foliage in the fall and replace historic trees lost to the ravages of time. They are also resistant to road salt. This living history project received the Vermont Governor’s Award for Environmental Excellence in 2017.
