As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats. That is especially true in downtown Vergennes.

The restoration and reopening of the Vergennes Opera House on Main Street nearly 30 years ago helped spark the city’s revival. Read more about the little city that could on HappyVermont.com.

What I love about place names is that they have a true story or are a mix of myth, folklore and fact.

I grew up in Manchester in an area known as Purdy Hill (near or part of Skinner Hollow but just north of Wilcox Flats). The Purdys were early settlers and farmers in town.

One member of the Purdy family sold his home on Purdy Hill to Gunther Klose of New York City, who later sold it to my parents in 1976.

Every day, I think of that house, the old barn, and the wide open fields, which my father named Tanner Brook Farm (named after a small brook).

In the early 80s, my dad installed a light blue sign for Tanner Brook Farm in front of the house along Route 7A for all to see. My siblings and I felt mortified for reasons I can’t exactly remember.

My parents sold the property decades ago when they divorced. But all these years later, my brothers and sisters reminisce about living there.

The sign my dad made is long gone. But we still call it Tanner Brook.

What a place.

The town of Stratton consists of 30,000 acres—65 percent of it is on national forest land.

The town’s tiny population in the 1930s nearly put Stratton on the same path as unincorporated towns Glastenbury and Somerset.

You can find my latest podcast episode exploring Stratton’s history with Stratton Town Clerk Kent Young on Spotify, Apple or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Imagine if Stratton lost its status as a town. Bac

Imagine if Stratton lost its status as a town. Back when the state legislature was disincorporating towns like Glastenbury and Somerset because of small populations in the 1930s, some wondered if Stratton would meet the same fate.

In my latest podcast episode,
Town Clerk Kent Young talks about Stratton’s tiny population, the fire tower on top of Stratton Mountain, the lack of post offices in town, and an old tragic tale from Kelley Stand Road.

Mud City isn’t much of a city. But the dirt road

Mud City isn’t much of a city. But the dirt roads around this part of Vermont live up to their place-name in springtime.
