Hello Friends of the Road,

Are you all feeling historical? No, that wasn’t a reference to one’s age. I hope you are all well. My outside work is done, which is good because the temperature outside is into the non-comfort range for me. It has been nice to see the seeds of previous labor coming alive now. 

For those that didn’t attend the last outing, and that can’t be too many of you, it was a great turnout. In fact, it may have been the largest crowd I’ve been to for the CPRA. We had over 40 who attended! Besides a few bugs, ok a LOT of bugs, it was a good day. We braved the hazardous Route 7 traffic, and managed to avoid any roadkill. It felt like a game of Frogger crossing the highway at times. Many thanks to outing leaders Jim Rowe and Bill Powers for packing everyone’s heads with history. The discussions we all had were great. For those who didn’t attend, I will get copies of the handouts and the photos taken by attendees. I will share these in a future newsletter. 

I’ve bought the new book about Ebenezer Allen, entitled: Vermont’s Ebenezer Allen: Patriot, Commando and Emancipator. It is written by Glenn Fay Jr.. I look forward to reading about a guy I know very little about. His family got a lot of attention and I am curious about Ebenzer’s story. Have any of you read it already?

Quickly coming up on us is our next outing. There has been some research and planning done, and some finalizing details to work out. I hope the weather will be good. There may be a bit of walking (up to 1.5 miles), but roadside, and nothing steep or strenuous. The full write-up is the following:
June 19: On this Saturday, a field trip has been planned to explore the old Solomon Purdy property in West Rutland. Interested participants should meet at 11am by the swings near the dog park in the West Rutland Recreation Area. Solomon was a Revolutionary War veteran who acquired 100 acres of land at the foot of the present Boardman Hill, along the Clarendon River. A descendant of Solomon will lead the outing. Discussion will include the archeological dig performed when the new Rt 4 highway was built. The recreation area can be entered either from Boardman Hill Road, or Clarendon Ave (Rt 133). Bring a lunch. For info, contact Julia Purdy at laughinotter10@gmail.com

I have a map to share with you all as well. It was brought to my attention by Barry Griffith, and a good copy of the map was provided by Bill Powers. It is from the 1931 edition of Proceedings of the Vermont Historical Society. I expect you all will enjoy looking at this. 

I believe that is all the info I have for you today. Until we meet again, be well, and keep history alive!
