Bradley Covered Bridge

The Bradley Covered Bridge, also known as the Miller's Run Covered Bridge, is a historic covered bridge, carrying Center Street over Miller Run, a tributary of the Passumpsic River, in Lyndon, Vermont. Built in 1878, it is the last of Vermont's many 19th-century covered bridges to carry a numbered state highway (first Vermont Route 122 then later Vermont Route 122 Alternate). The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977. Description and history The Bradley Covered Bridge is located north of central Lyndon, crossing Miller Run on Central Street just south of its junction with Gilman Road. The latter carries Vermont Route 122 on the north side of Miller Run, while Central Street runs south to the downtown area. The bridge is a single-span queenpost truss design, 56.5 feet (17.2 m) long and 17.5 feet (5.3 m) wide, with a roadway width of 15 feet (4.6 m). It is covered by a metal roof, and rests on abutments either faced or built out of concrete. Its sides are sheathed for half their height by vertical board siding. A sidewalk has been cantilevered out to the bridge's east side; it is sheltered by a shed roof offset main roof. The bridge's decking consists of wood planking. The bridge was built in 1878 by E.H. Stone. It is similar in construction to five other area bridges, whose shared characteristics include extended eaves, half-wall siding, and portals with diagonal corners. In 1973, the bridge was crossed by an overheight truck, doing substantial damage to its south portal. The bridge has since then undergone restoration and was renovated in 1995.

Bread and Puppet Theater

Bread and Puppet Theater je loutkové divadlo, které vzniklo roku 1963 a sídlí na farmě v Gloveru v americkém státě Vermont. Jeho ředitelem je Peter Schumann. Divadlo se vyznačuje důrazem na komunitní život a politickou angažovanost. Založili je na newyorské Lower East Side východoevropští přistěhovalci Elke a Peter Schumannovi. Soubor se zařadil k výrazným hybatelům kontrakultury 60. let, ve své tvorbě vystupoval proti účasti USA ve vietnamské válce a sociální i rasové nerovnosti. Členové se účastnili mnoha demonstrací a happeningů, podpořili mj. Zapatovu armádu národního osvobození v Mexiku. S divadlem spolupracovala spisovatelka Grace Paleyová. K významným inscenacím patřily Fire, Birdcatcher in Hell, The Cry of the People for Meat, Stations of the Cross a Men of Flesh and Cardboard. Tvorba divadla vychází z mytologie a středověkých moralit, využívá karikaturně pojaté loutky v nadživotní velikosti, inspiruje se prvky pouličního umění, jako je tanec na chůdách. Představení doprovází hudební těleso Bread & Puppet Circus Band. Bread and Puppet Theater se hlásí k programu „levného umění“, odmítá sponzoring a žije pouze z dobrovolného vstupného. Loutky a masky vytvářejí členové souboru z přírodních materiálů. Název divadla znamená „chléb a loutky“ a odkazuje ke zvyku divadelníků péct domácí chléb a podávat ho divákům zdarma s aioli, což vyjadřuje přesvědčení, že umění by mělo být pro člověka každodenním pokrmem. Divadlo má vlastní muzeum s rozsáhlou kolekcí loutek a provozuje vydavatelství knih. Do roku 1998 také pořádalo v Gloveru kulturní festival Our Domestic Resurrection Circus. Bread and Puppet Theater se objevil ve filmovém muzikálu Julie Taymorové Napříč vesmírem. V roce 1978 se stal soubor jedním z držitelů Erasmovy ceny.

Green Mount Cemetery (Montpelier, Vermont)

Green Mount Cemetery is a burial ground in Montpelier, Vermont. Located at 250 State Street, the 35-acre facility was established in 1854. It is operated by the City of Montpelier, and managed by the city's part time cemetery commission and a small full-time staff. History The land on which Green Mount Cemetery is located was purchased from Isaiah Silver in 1854. Of the $2,210 purchase price (about $70,000 in 2022), $1,000 was donated in accordance with the will of Calvin J. Keith, a Montpelier lawyer who died in 1853, and $1,210 came from the town government. In 1905, a bequest from John E. Hubbard enabled construction of the chapel-vault building. The vault portion can hold up to 60 entombments, while the chapel can accommodate 60 people for funeral services. Description Green Mount Cemetery's grounds include many terraced lots along its hillsides, 2.5 miles of winding roads, and numerous ornamental shrubs and shade trees. The cemetery's many sculptures and unusual grave markers are a tourist attraction, and serve as a memorial to the talents of artisans from Vermont's granite and marble industries. Among these sculptures is a granite bench located at the grave of Daniel Pierce Thompson. Local lore also includes the story of 'Black Agnes', a supposed ghost that haunts the statue adorning the grave of John E. Hubbard, who died in 1899. Soldiers' Lot The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) maintains a 450-square-foot lot which was donated by Montpelier's citizens during the American Civil War. The lot was intended for burials of Union Army soldiers, and contains the remains of six Union veterans. The Soldiers' Lot is one of the smallest facilities maintained by the VA. Burials in the Soldiers' Lot include: Black, Henry – Private in 3rd Maine Infantry, 17th Maine, and 20th Maine. Died at Montpelier's Sloan Army Hospital in 1865. Collins, Luther M. – Private in 17th Vermont Infantry. Died in 1871. Hand, Thomas – Private in Company I, 174th New York Infantry and 162nd New York Infantry.

Fire District No. 2 Firehouse

The Fire District No. 2 Firehouse, also known locally as the Yosemite Engine House, is a historic fire station at 716 Depot Street in Chester, Vermont, United States. Built in 1879, it is architecturally distinctive in the state as the only period fire station with two towers, which also distinctively exhibit Second Empire styling. Now owned by the town, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. Description and history The Yosemite Engine House occupies a visually prominent location at the northern fringe of the village of Chester Depot village, on the east side of Depot Street (Vermont Route 103). It is set close to the road, sandwiched between the road and the Williams River. It is a 2-1/2 story frame structure with a gabled roof and clapboarded exterior. The main vehicle entrance is on the south facade, with a rail-mounted sliding door added in the 20th century. The building's defining features are its two towers. The north tower is the taller of the two and was used to dry hoses, while the shorter south tower houses the belfry. Both towers are topped by distinctive mansard roofs, each with a molded crown. The second story of the building houses a small meeting hall. Chester's fire district #2 was established in 1871, in the wake of several major fires in the village of Chester Depot. Although its designer is not known, its Second Empire features were probably due to the influence of Frederick Marsh, a local businessman who had built a house in that style nearby, and who served as an engineer in the Yosemite Engine Company, the principal firefighting unit of the district. The building's vehicle entrance, originally designed for human- or horse-drawn equipment, was enlarged in the 1930s to accommodate engine-powered equipment. The fire district, a separate taxing entity from the town since its creation, was dissolved in 1967, and its properties reverted to the town. It was eventually sold into private hands, and was operated for a short time as a museum by the local historical society before being reacquired by the town in 2018.
