Hello Friends of the Road,
No, I am not in hibernation, and no, I’m not in Florida. I’m braving another cold day guarding my piece of the Crown Point Road. I am proud to live and own presumed earth that was once part of the Crown Point Road. If you’re imagining me watching over the turf like the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier (from Proctor, VT!), or the Buckingham Palace guards, well, thank you, but no. I’m more likely to stand guard on the couch or when I’m sitting on the front porch. I do take the history seriously though, and truly am proud to share the ground that was involved with so much history. It does not just contain state history, or history of our nation, but also of native Americans that may have once hunted on this land. 
I do hope you are all well and the holidays were good. Hopefully 2019 will be a great year for history. If weather permits, there will be a CPRA board meeting this weekend. On the agenda, is to finalize our 2019 calendar of events. As usual, we have an ambitious year full of fun outings and good variety. Teaser: we may be going on a bus trip again! To get the latest information about a bus trip, and lots of great historical content, be sure to like our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/CrownPointRoadAssociation/ and be sure you have the correct page. There is an older page we no longer use. Even if you’re not using Facebook (many aren’t), you will get all the information from our annual mailing sent out to members. In it, will be the full schedule and details about all of the outings. 
Every winter I tell myself I will take advantage of the colder time to catch up on my reading. I’m still not very good at that resolution. I do have some new books, but haven’t read any of them. I’m still reading a book about Seth Warner. I did visit the Leahy Library in Barre last for the first time. Perhaps I’ve written you all about it already, so excuse the skipping record if I have. It is a great site and I highly recommend the visit! For more information, or hours of operation, visit this page: https://vermonthistory.org
To continue on the history theme, have you been to see the new marble monument in downtown Rutland? It was carved locally and the subject is the historical figure of Ann Story. Here is an article about it from the Rutland Herald: https://www.rutlandherald.com/news/city-s-next-sculpture-tells-a-story/article_360abbb0-dd9e-56b5-bb7e-b07e2f68ae0d.html
In closing, I’d like to put a plug in for a great new(ish) local historical society. They have a strong and active following, and even if you’re not interested or able to attend one of their meetings, you should visit their website. It is packed with local history and is growing all the time. If you feel compelled to become a member or support them, there is information there to do so. The website is: http://www.clarendonvthistory.org
