Dellwood Cemetery

Dellwood Cemetery is a historic rural cemetery established in 1865 in Manchester Village, Vermont. Description The cemetery is located at 2950 Route 7A in Manchester Village, Vermont. It covers approximately 58 acres (23 ha) and contains approximately 2,000 interments. The entrance gate is flanked by two marble statues. One represents "Death" or "Mourning", and the other is the angel Gabriel, which represents a personification of the "Resurrection". One section of the cemetery contains the tombstones from the old town cemetery established in 1784. The tombstones from the old cemetery were moved to clear the lot for construction of the courthouse in 1822, but the bodies were not re-interred. Dellwood Cemetery is still an active burial location, however only 5 to 6 burials occur each year. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2026. History The cemetery was established in 1865 through an act of the Vermont legislature. It was built on thirteen acres (5.3 ha) purchased through donations made by two previous residents of Manchester Village, Illinois State Representative Mark Skinner and Judge Helmus Wells. The cemetery was laid out in the rural cemetery design popular in the 19th century by the landscape architect Burton A. Thomas. In 1873, Skinner donated additional funds for the creation of the cemetery gates and in 1875, the two marble statues at the gate were added. In July 1926, Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, died at Hildene, the family home in Manchester Center, Vermont. His body was stored in the receiving vault at Dellwood Cemetery until March 1928 when arrangements were made to inter his remains at Arlington National Cemetery.

Hildene

Hildene, auch bekannt als Robert Todd Lincoln Estate, ist ein denkmalgeschütztes Haus in Manchester, Bennington County, Vermont und war die Sommerresidenz von Robert Todd Lincoln. Geschichte Das auf einem 412 Acre großen Grundstück liegende Anwesen wurde im Jahr 1904 durch das Bostoner Architekturbüro Shepley, Rutan und Coolidge für Robert Todd Lincoln, den ersten Sohn von Abraham Lincoln, errichtet. Lincoln lebte hier bis zu seinem Tod im Jahre 1926. Hildene befand sich danach weiterhin im Besitz der Familie Lincoln, bis die Enkelin des Erbauers, Mary Lincoln Beckwith, verstarb und das Anwesen als Erbe an die Christian Science Church fiel. Hildene wurde am 28. Oktober 1977 als Baudenkmal in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Neben Hildene, dem Wohnhaus, liegen noch 21 weitere Bauwerke auf dem Grundstück verteilt, welche als Contributing Properties zählen, darunter ein Kutschenhaus, Farmhäuser und Scheunen aus dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert sowie weitere Nebengebäude. Architektur Hildene ist im Stile des Georgian Revival gestaltet und überblickt auf einem Vorgebirge stehend das in einem Tal liegende Manchester. Die nach Norden gerichtete Frontfassade hat eine Länge von 14 Fensteröffnungen, während die Seitenwände eine Breite von zwei Fenstern haben. Der Zentralbau ist zweieinhalb Stockwerke hoch, die beiden Seitenflügel sind eine halbe Etage tiefer und schließen wie der Hauptteil mit einem Walmdach ab.

Hildene

Hildene, the Lincoln Family Home is the former summer home of Robert Todd Lincoln and his wife Mary Harlan Lincoln, located at 1005 Hildene Road in Manchester Center, Vermont. History Robert Todd Lincoln was the eldest of the four sons of President Abraham Lincoln and his wife Mary Todd Lincoln, and the only one of them to survive into adulthood. He first visited Manchester Center, Vermont at age 20 in the summer of 1863 when he, his brother Tad, and their mother stayed at the nearby Equinox House to escape the heat of Washington, D.C. Hildene remained occupied by descendants of the Lincoln family until 1975, when the next to last descendant of the Lincoln-Harlan family, Mary Lincoln Beckwith, granddaughter of Robert and Mary and daughter of Jessie and Warren Wallace Beckwith, died there. In 1978 the non-profit organization, the Friends of Hildene, purchased the property and began restoration of the house, outbuildings and gardens. Landscape The name Hildene is from the old English words meaning "hill" and "valley with stream". Completed in 1905 in the Georgian Revival style, the house is located on a 300-foot (91 m) promontory overlooking the Battenkill Valley. Approximately half of the 412-acre (167 ha) estate is located at the lower level of the valley and includes meadows and wetlands. A formal garden in the form of a cathedral's stained glass window was planted in 1907. The window pattern is defined by privet hedge and filled with mixed borders of annual and perennial flowering plants providing the multicolored "stained glass." The garden is especially noted for its collection of over 1,000 herbaceous peonies. In 2008, the Rowland Agricultural Center at Hildene Farm opened to the public with its herd of Nubian goats and cheese-making facility. In the summer of 2011, the restored 1903 wooden Pullman palace car, Sunbeam, made its home at the Manchester estate. The car came off the line during Robert's tenure as president of the Pullman Company. Interior Hildene is furnished almost entirely with Lincoln family furniture and contains artifacts belonging to Robert Todd Lincoln and his parents. In 1908 an Æolian pipe organ was installed at a cost of $11,500. In 1980 the Friends of Hildene restored the organ.

Holland Congregational Church

The Holland Congregational Church (West Holland Church) is a historic church on Gore Road in Holland, Vermont. Built in 1844, it is a prominent local example of Greek Revival architecture, and is the town's only surviving 19th-century public building. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The Holland Congregational Church stands in an isolated rural setting, on the east side of Gore Road between its junctions with Bullis Road and Stagecoach Lane. It is a single-story wood-frame structure, with a gabled roof, clapboarded exterior, and stone foundation. A square tower rises from near the front of the roof ridge, with a low first stage, taller second stage with pilastered corners, and a third belfry stage with louvered openings and pilastered corners. It is capped by a pyramidal roof with spire. The main facade is symmetrical, with sash windows in the outer bays (including a pair at the gallery level), and a center entrance, framed by pilasters and a corniced entablature. The interior has a small vestibule area, providing access to the main sanctuary, a narrow winding stair to the gallery above, and a small kitchen with c. 1880 fixtures. The sanctuary retains its original carved pulpit and minister's chair, and has a band of tulip stencilwork bordering the tops of the walls. Construction on the church began in 1844, when its frame was erected. It was not completed, however, until ten years later. It housed an active congregation until 1954. Despite declining population in the town, there was strong public interest in the building's preservation, which prompted the formation of a local historical society, which took over the building's ownership in 1973. The society maintains the building as a meeting space and local history museum. See also National Register of Historic Places listings in Orleans County, Vermont References
Holmes Creek Covered Bridge

The Holmes Creek Covered Bridge, also called the Lakeshore Covered Bridge, is a one-lane wooden covered bridge that crosses Holmes Creek in Charlotte, Vermont on Lake Road, adjacent to Charlotte Beach. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The bridge is of King post truss with tied arch design, one of only 3 left standing in the state. This bridge is also one of the shortest in the state, and it at the lowest elevation being just off the shore of Lake Champlain. According to the placard mounted on the bridge, the town Selectmen originally specified the bridge's width and height to accommodate passage of "a load of hay, high and wide." During the late 1800s, the Holmes family operated what is said to be the largest apple orchard in New England, located just southwest of the bridge. Offshore in Lake Champlain there are submerged pilings; the only remaining evidence of the pier where boats docked to load the fruit. Recent history In 1993 the bridge was rehabilitated by Milton Graton Associates, after the Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) found it to be inadequate for normal loading. Additional work was done in 1994 by Paul Ide and Jan Lewandoski. The Vermont AOT has further recommended bypassing the bridge, but thus far it is still in daily use. In 2002, the bridge had undergone a roof replacement funded by the National Historic Covered Bridge Preservation Program, which re-roofed 38 covered bridges within the State The July 2007 Town of Charlotte Selectboard minutes have stated that the Holmes Creek Bridge has been hit by an untold number of small trucks, where the Town has had to pay for the repairs. The current height restriction for vehicles traveling on the bridge is posted at 8'3".

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church (Swanton, Vermont)

Holy Trinity Episcopal Church also known as Holy Trinity Memorial Church is an historic Episcopal church building located at 38 Grand Avenue in the village of Swanton, Franklin County, Vermont. Built in 1876 and expanded in 1909-10, the church facilities include a fine example of the Carpenter Gothic in the older section (now the parish hall), and the Late Victorian Gothic Revival in the newer section. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Parish of the Holy Trinity in 2001. The church is an active parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont; its current rector is the Rev. Kathleen Schotto. The church reported 162 members in 2022 and 117 members in 2023; no membership statistics were reported in 2024 parochial reports. Plate and pledge income reported for the congregation in 2024 was $43,639 with average Sunday attendance (ASA) of 39 persons. Architecture and history The Holy Trinity Church stands in the center of Swanton village, at the southern end of the village green, next to the Swanton Christian Church and the town hall. The main body of the church is oriented to face the green across Academy Street, while the parish hall, its former building, is angled to face Grand Avenue, with the rectory to its east. Both have steeply pitched roofs. The main sanctuary is a stone structure, built out of locally quarried red and purple marble. It has high-style Gothic Revival features including a buttressed square tower with a crenellated flat top, and a large Gothic-arched stained glass window at the center of the street-facing facade. The altar is made of white marble from Proctor, Vermont, and has terra cotta inlays. The parish hall has a Stick style decorative application at the top of its street-facing gable, and has stepped corner buttresses rising to pinnacles at the corners. The Holy Trinity congregation was organized in 1824, and originally met in the church next door, which it shared with several other congregations. It was dormant between 1834 and 1867, at which point it was reorganized, and its membership began to organize for the acquisition of a dedicated building. The present Carpenter Gothic parish hall was built in 1876 to a design by Ira D. Hatch, a local resident. The town and congregation both experienced significant growth in the following decades, and the new stone sanctuary was added in 1909-10, a gift from Rev. Edward Stone. It was designed by Louis S. Newton of Hartford, Vermont, and is a prominent local example of a High Gothic Revival style. The 1876 building was at that time adapted for its present use as a parish hall.

Evergreen Cemetery is a burial ground located in Rutland City, Vermont, United States. It is managed by the Rutland Evergreen Cemetery Association. Evergreen was founded as Pine Hill Cemetery in 1861, and the name was subsequently changed. History Pine Hill Cemetery was dedicated on 16 October 1861, with William A. Burnett as the first superintendent. The site took its name from the location where it was constructed, Rutland's Pine Hill, and was later changed to Evergreen Cemetery. Initial construction included walkways, a vault, a front wall, and a gateway of marble. In addition, early construction included seven fountains, one of which (in Section C) is still working. Description Evergreen Cemetery was constructed on a 45-acre site, and has been expanded by purchase and donation. Its entrance is located at 465 West Street in Rutland City, near the border with Rutland town and across the street from the Rutland Town Hall. designed in the rural cemetery tradition, the location was originally a pine forest and retains many aspects of a wood or grove.

Hopkins Covered Bridge

The Hopkins Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses the Trout River in Enosburg, Vermont on Hopkins Bridge Road. Built in 1875 by brothers Sheldon & Savannah Jewett, it is one of a cluster of area covered bridges all attributed to the same builders. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The Hopkins Covered Bridge stands in a rural area of northeastern Enosburg, just west of Vermont Route 118 on Hopkins Bridge Road, which provides access to a single farm property. The bridge spans the Trout River in an east–west orientation. It is of Town lattice truss design, 91 feet (28 m) in length and 19.5 feet (5.9 m) in width, with a roadway width of 16 feet (4.9 m) (one lane). It is covered by a gabled roof, and is sheathed by vertical board siding, which extends a short way inside the portals to shelter the truss ends. The siding stops short of the truss tops, providing openings at the top. The bridge decking consists of wooden planking. The bridge was built in 1875 by the Jewett brothers of adjacent Montgomery, who are credited with building Montgomery's six surviving covered bridges. This assemblage is one of the most concentrated in Vermont all attributable to a single builder. The Jewetts used standardized dimensions for their construction (except for the bridge length), and prepared wood for the bridges at their lumberyard in Montgomery's West Hill area. The Vermont Agency of Transportation in 1993 reported that the bridge was over-stressed and it was closed. The one farm that the bridge served was provided with a temporary bridge. It was completely renovated by Renauld Bros. of Vernon and reopened in 1999.

Howard Mortuary Chapel

The Howard Mortuary Chapel is a historic chapel located at 455 North Avenue on the grounds of Lakeview Cemetery in Burlington, Vermont. Built in 1882, the chapel was designed in the High Victorian Gothic style by Alfred Benjamin Fisher, on cemetery grounds designed by E. C. Ryer in 1871. It was given to the City of Burlington by Hannah Louisa Howard. The chapel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999. Description and history Lakeview Cemetery is located north of downtown Burlington, between North Avenue and Burlington Bay. The Howard Chapel is located near the road, just south of the cemetery's main entrance. It is a masonry structure, built mainly out of Monkton quartzite, known locally as redstone. The redstone has an ashlar finish, and is laid in courses, with gray limestone trim. Its Gothic features include buttresses, lancet-arched windows, and a steeply pitched purple slate roof. Its east-facing gable rises to include a bellcote with a lancet-arched opening. The chapel was built in 1882, funded by Hannah Louisa Howard, the daughter of successful hotelier John Howard, and a local philanthropist who generally concentrated her giving towards helping the disadvantaged of the city. Her gifts include those to the Home for Destitute Children, the Louisa Howard Mission and the Burlington Cancer Relief Association, as well as scholarships to attend the University of Vermont for poor students. It was designed by Alfred Benjamin Fisher, one of the city's leading architects of the period, and is a prominent local example of High Gothic Victorian architecture. The chapel was used for memorial services until the 1940s, when it fell into disuse except for the storage of caskets. In the early 1990s, a "Friends of the Chapel" organization began fundraising efforts with the intention of rehabilitating the structure and returning it to use for services. Donations and grants paid for extensive repairs and improvements, including new heating and electrical service, repointing stonework, roof and window repairs, repainting interior woodwork, repairs to interior plaster, and repainting of the intricate stenciling on the interior of the building. Restoration work was completed in 2006, and the building was re-dedicated on July 30 of that year.

Hutchins Covered Bridge

The Hutchins Covered Bridge is a wooden covered bridge that crosses the South Branch of the Trout River in Montgomery, Vermont on Hutchins Bridge Road. It was built in 1883 by Sheldon & Savannah Jewett, brothers who are credited with building most of the area's covered bridges. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Description and history The Hutchins Covered Bridge stands in what is now a rural area of central Montgomery, carrying the dead-end Hutchins Bridge Road over the South Branch Trout River a short way west of Vermont Route 118. It is a single-span Town lattice truss, 77 feet (23 m) long and 19.5 feet (5.9 m) wide, with a roadway width of 16 feet (4.9 m) (one lane). It has a metal gable roof, and its exterior is clad in vertical board siding, which extends around to the interior of the portals. The siding stops short of the roof eaves, leaving an open strip. The bridge deck is wood planking, and the abutments consist of dry-laid stone blocks; those at one end are laid on a large stone outcrop. The bridge was completed in 1883 by the Jewett Brothers, who operated a sawmill in Montgomery's West Hill area. They prepared the wood for the bridges at their sawmill. The brothers are credited with building seven area surviving covered bridges, distinctive in Vermont as the highest concentration of bridges in the state with a single attributed builder. Like the nearby West Hill Covered Bridge, the Hutchins bridge was located in a bustling area at one time. Although it served a dead-end road, a butter tub company was situated there and used the bridge frequently. Also like the West Hill bridge, activity slackened and the bridge was essentially abandoned, falling into serious disrepair. At one time, large steel beams were installed below the deck, and tied to even larger beams running through the bridge over the deck to prevent it from falling into the river below. In 2009 it was reconstructed by Alpine Construction of Schuylerville, New York (the same company that rebuilt the West Hill bridge). Today the bridge shares another commonality with the West Hill bridge: the approach road is little more than a one lane gravel drive. A series of articles chronicling the work can be found at the Vermont Covered Bridges web site.

Hyde Log Cabin

The Hyde Log Cabin is a historic log cabin on U.S. Route 2 in Grand Isle, Vermont, United States. It was built in 1783, and occupied by the Hyde family for 150 years. Believed to be one of the oldest log cabins in the US, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971. Description and history The Hyde Log Cabin stands on the east side of US Route 2 north of Grand Isle center and just north of the Grand Isle Elementary School, sharing a lot with a small wood-frame 1814 schoolhouse. The cabin is a modest single-story structure, fashioned out of peeled cedar logs measuring between 14 and 18 inches in diameter. The building footprint is 20 by 25 feet (6.1 m × 7.6 m), and it is covered with a gabled roof. The interior consists of a single chamber with a loft space above. Its massive stone chimney is a 20th-century reconstruction of the original, the building having been moved about 2 miles (3.2 km) from its original location. The cabin was built in 1783 by Jedediah Hyde Jr., who surveyed the Grand Isle Area for Ira and Ethan Allen, who had acquired large tracts of land in the region. Hyde raised ten children in this cabin, and it was subsequently owned and occupied by members of the Hyde family for 150 years. In 1946 it was moved to its present location, and has undergone several rounds of restoration. It is owned by the state and operated as a historic house museum by the Grand Isle Historical Society, open on weekends between May and October.
