Bennington Museum

Das Bennington Museum wurde 1928 in Bennington im US-Bundesstaat Vermont eröffnet. Beschreibung Das Museum zeigt in erster Linie Kunsthandwerk (Glas) der Umgebung und Hauptwerke der populären Malerin Grandma Moses (1860–1961). Diese prominenteste amerikanische Vertreterin der Naiven Kunst begann erst mit 75 Jahren zu malen. Aus ihrem Werk werden rund 30 Gemälde gezeigt. Darüber hinaus findet man eine Sammlung zur lokalen Herstellung von Töpferei und Steingut, Möbeln sowie Globen. Außerdem thematisiert eine Dauer-Ausstellung die Schlacht von Bennington während des Amerikanischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges. Ein einzelnes Automobil von der Martin-Wasp Corporation illustriert die lokale Autoproduktion zwischen 1920 und 1924. Da der Wagen dieser Luxusmarke das letzte existierende Modell von 18 jemals gebauten Wagen ist, verdient auch er diese Würdigung. Weblinks Offizielle Website Einzelnachweise
Bennington Museum

The Bennington Museum is an accredited museum with notable collections of art and regional history. It is located at 75 Main Street, Bennington, Vermont, USA. The museum's history dates to 1852 when the Bennington Historical Association was first incorporated. In 1923 the association acquired a former church, which it renovated and opened to the public in 1928 as the Bennington Historical Museum. The building was subsequently expanded in 1938, 1960, 1974, and 1999. In 1938 its name was revised to the Bennington Historical Museum and Art Gallery to reflect its holdings of artwork, and in 1954 it was renamed the Bennington Museum. The collections have a special focus on Vermont and adjacent areas of New York and Massachusetts. In 1972 the schoolhouse attended by Grandma Moses was moved to the grounds and included as part of the museum. It also includes a genealogy and history research library. Key aspects of the museum's permanent collections include: Grandma Moses Gallery - the largest public collection of paintings by noted local artist "Grandma Moses", Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860-1961).

Gordon-Center House

The Gordon-Center House is a historic house on West Shore Road (Vermont Route 314) in Grand Isle, Vermont. Probably built in first quarter of the 19th century, it was long been associated with the nearby ferry service to Plattsburgh, New York, and is one of the town's few surviving 19th-century stone buildings. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. Description and history The Gordon-Center House stands on the east side of West Shore Road, north of the Gordon's Landing ferry terminus and just south of the Ed Weed Cultural Fish Station. It is a 2+1⁄2-story stone structure, built out of ashlar granite and coursed rubble, with a side-gable slate roof and two interior chimneys. The entrance is centered on the main facade, and features a distinctive oversized keystone arch. A 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame wing, dating to early in the building's history, extends to the left. The property also includes five barns, all built before 1930, reflective of the evolutionary changes in the property's agricultural uses. Apparently completed in 1824, the interior has retained a few Federal style details despite fairly extensive alterations early in the 20th century. The building was long been associated with the ferry service operated, and tradition has it that its construction was begun by Hazen Bell and completed by someone named Boardman. Both were known to be operators of the ferry service, and its subsequent owners were also ferry owners and operators until 1941. The Gordon and Center families were later owners of both the house and ferry privilege in the 19th century.

Historical Society of Windham County

The Historical Society of Windham County, and its constituent Windham County Museum, is a local historical society formed in 1927 to record and study the history of Windham County, Vermont. The organization was founded by Clara Chipman Newton, and subsequently incorporated in 1933. Subsequently, the organization built its current museum, starting in 1936 in Newfane, VT, and the museum is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The society also holds a biannual "Windham County History Fair" in Newfaine. In 2015, the society purchased the remaining Newfane station, one of the last buildings left over from the West River Railroad, to preserve the history of the railroad and to create a "West River Railroad Museum.

Ticklenaked Pond

Ticklenaked Pond is a lake in Caledonia County, Vermont, in the United States. "Ticklenaked" is likely a corruption of the Native American (Indian) name. Historian John C. Huden wrote: It is very doubtful that this hilarious name is of Indian origin; if so, it is possibly a much modified Delaware word meaning "beaver kittens here." It was also known as Tickenecket and Tickeneck in earlier years. See also List of lakes in Vermont References
Grafton Public Library (Grafton, Vermont)

The Grafton Public Library is a 19th-century library located in Grafton, Vermont in the historic Butterfield House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2012. Services The library offers books and other media for lending, including via interlibrary loan. Services include the use of computers and printers, and wireless internet access. Patrons may also remotely access a variety of online databases. Architecture and history The library is located on the south side of Main Street, in the eastern part of Grafton's village center. It is in a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house, with a gable roof, clapboard siding, and a granite foundation. It is roughly rectangular, set parallel to the street, with a five bay facade that has an entrance at its center. The building's main entrance, however, is on the building's eastern facade, which features a two-story portico underneath an extension of the main roof, with polygonal columns as support, and a wrought iron railing on the second floor. The building's cornices and gable rakes are studded with scrolled modillions. An older 1+1⁄2-story ell extends to the south. The oldest portion of the house, a portion of its ell, may have been standing on the property when it was purchased by John Butterfield in 1811, as it exhibits Federal period styling and workmanship. The main block of the house achieved its present appearance in the 1860s, having possibly been built as a 1+1⁄2-story Cape style house by Butterfield and then had a second floor added. The styling, a combination of Greek Revival and Italianate features, is not unusual for houses of the 1860s in Vermont. The house has served as the town library since the 1950s.

Brooks Memorial Library

Brooks Memorial Library is a public library in the municipality of Brattleboro, Vermont. The library was founded in 1887. It is part of the Catamount Library Network, which provides a unified library system for over a dozen Vermont libraries. The current head librarian is Starr LaTronica, who joined the library in December 2015. History The library was founded in 1887, when the Brattleboro Library Association's "Free Library" was moved to George J. Brooks Free Library. Brooks was a successful paper wholesale entrepreneur, and upon his return to his hometown founded the library. The library was designed by New England architect Alexander Curtis Currier. The original property was torn down in 1971, when the Brattleboro post office expanded, and the new library was completed in 1967 at its current location. Since then, the library has been funded by a mix of the annual town budget and gifts to the Friends of the Brooks Memorial Library. The library received national press attention in 2014 when a reclusive and frugal millionaire, Ronald Read, died and left $1.2 million to the library alongside an additional 4.8 million to Brattleboro Memorial Hospital.

Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge

The Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge is a covered bridge in Wolcott, Vermont. Built in 1908, it originally carried the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad line over the Lamoille River. Now closed, it was the last covered bridge in Vermont to carry railroad traffic, and is a rare surviving example in the state of a double Town lattice truss. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The bridge is currently part of the Lamoille County Rail Trail. Description and history The Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge stands in a rural area southeast of the village center of Wolcott, south of Vermont Route 15. It spans the Lamoille River in a northwest–southeast orientation, and is accessed from a small parking area just to the north. The bridge is a two-span doubled Town lattice truss, with a total length of 103.5 feet (31.5 m) and a width of 20.5 feet (6.2 m), with an inside track width of 15 feet (4.6 m). It rests on stone abutments capped in concrete. The bridge is covered by a gabled roof which has a distinctive central monitor for much of its length. The exterior of the bridge is clad in vertical board siding which rises most of the way to the roof, leaving an open strip at the top of the sides. The siding extends into the portals a short way, and there is a band of skirt-style siding extending below the main siding. The decking now has a steel I-beam substructure, leaving the trusses to only support the superstructure. The bridge was built in 1908, and was, at the time of its listing on the National Register in 1974, the last covered bridge in the United States to carry railroad traffic. It was built by the Boston and Maine Railroad on the route of the St. Johnsbury and Lamoille County Railroad, which it controlled. In 1968, it was threatened with demolition in favor of a steel truss. A pier was built under the bridge, and four steel girders were installed to support the bridge's load.

Green River Covered Bridge

The Green River Covered Bridge is a covered bridge in western Guilford, Vermont. Built in the 1870s by Marcus Worden, it is a Town lattice truss bridge, carrying Green River Road over the eponymous river in a small rural village of the same name. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Description and history The Green River Covered Bridge is located in far western Guilford, at the junction of Green River Road with the Jacksonville Stage Road. The bridge spans the Green River, a generally south-flowing tributary of the Deerfield and Connecticut Rivers. The bridge is 105 feet (32 m) long, with a road width of 15 feet (4.6 m) and a total width of 18.5 feet (5.6 m). It rests on dry-laid stone abutments that have been capped in concrete. The bridge trusses are built out of large planks to the patented design of Ithiel Town, and the bridge floor has been reinforced with laminated beams. The sides of the bridge are clad in vertical board siding, and the gabled ends of the bridge are finished in flushboard. The bridge was built in the 1870s, and forms an important visual component of the village of Green River, which includes modestly scaled 19th century buildings, an old mill pond, and features unpaved roads and few modern intrusions. Because of its remote location it does not see the heavy traffic that has stressed other covered bridges in the state.

Hall Covered Bridge

The Hall Covered Bridge, located in southern Rockingham, Vermont, carries Hall Bridge Road across the Saxtons River, just north of its junction with Vermont Route 121. It is a Town lattice truss bridge, built in 1982 as a replica of a circa-1867 bridge that was destroyed by an overweight truck in 1980. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. Description and history The Hall Covered Bridge is located in a rural area of southern Rockingham, west of the village of Bellows Falls, spanning the Saxtons River about 1.2 miles (1.9 km) east of the village of Saxtons River. It is a single-span lattice truss bridge, based on the patent of architect Ithiel Town, and rests on stone abutments. Its sides are clad in vertical board siding, with three diamond-shaped window openings, and it is topped by a gabled metal roof. The original bridge was built in 1867 by Sanford Granger, a local master bridge builder. It was, at the time of its listing on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973, one of three surviving 19th-century covered bridges in the town (out of 17 documented to exist). The bridge was destroyed by an overweight truck in 1980, and a replica was built in 1982 by Milton S. Graton, whose penchant for authenticity extended to the use of oxen to move the finished bridge into place.

Old Mill (University of Vermont)

Old Mill (historically known as the Main College Building) is the oldest campus building of the University of Vermont (UVM), located along the central-eastern side of the "University Green" in Burlington, Vermont. History The building was constructed in 1825 on the same site as its predecessor, which had burned down in 1824. The original Main College building was constructed in 1801–02 by the architect and master builder, John Johnson, who had also designed its replacement. On April 26, 1825, the cornerstone for North College was laid by Vermont Governor Cornelius P. Van Ness. Two months later on June 29, General Lafayette laid the cornerstone for South College during his visit to Burlington while on his national tour. In 1825, the Main College consisted of two three-story 75 feet (23 m) x 36 feet (11 m) buildings known as the "North and South Colleges". A third three-story building (with a length of 86 feet (26 m)), known as the "Middle College" was erected between the two in 1829. Each of the buildings was constructed about 7–8 feet apart to prevent fire from destroying the entire facility, as had occurred previously in 1824. In 1846, the buildings were connected, however they were not accessible to one another within. The building has undergone substantial renovations several times. Major renovations include a modernization effort in 1882–83, designed by J. J. R. Randall, 1918 (after a fire had struck South College), 1957–58 (with the addition of Lafayette Hall to South College), and in 1995–97 (with the addition of the Annex). Old Mill was added to National Register of Historic Places as part of "University Green Historic District" on April 14, 1975. John Broza, an alum of UVM, proposed a stamp with Old Mill depicted on it. The stamp entered circulation in 1991, where John attended and signed the ceremony. Current use and occupancy Today, Old Mill is home to the Departments of English, Economics, Geography, Religion, and Political Science. It is also host to the Programs for Women's Studies, Critical Race and Ethnic Studies (ALANA), and Global and Regional Studies; the Center for Holocaust Studies; the Humanities Center; and the John Dewey Lounge.

Saint Michael’s College (Vermont)

Das Saint Michael’s College ist eine private, katholische Hochschule in Colchester im Bundesstaat Vermont in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika. Es wird von einem kirchlichen Orden, der Society of Saint Edmund, betrieben. Geschichte Das College wurde 1904 in einigen Militärbaracken auf dem heutigen Campus eingerichtet. Die ersten Studenten waren 34 Jungen und Jugendliche im Alter von 10 bis 22 Jahren. Bis in die 1950er Jahre blieben die Klassen klein; mit einem Ausbildungsprogramm für Einwanderer, die Englisch als zweite Sprache erlernen wollten, wurde 1954 ein neuer Studienzweig, der School of international Studies, eingerichtet, der 1956 mit der Aufnahme ungarischer Flüchtlinge zum Hauptzweig der Schule wurde und es bis heute blieb. Während der erste Farbige seinen Schulabschluss bereits 1911 machte, blieb die Studentenschaft bis 1970 männlich; erst dann wurden auch weibliche Studenten aufgenommen. Die erste weibliche Vollzeit-Lehrkraft wurde dagegen schon 1942 aufgenommen. Zahlen zu den Studierenden, den Dozenten und zum Vermögen Im Herbst 2021 waren 1.573 Studierende am Michael’s College eingeschrieben. Davon strebten 1.421 (90,3 %) ihren ersten Studienabschluss an, sie waren also undergraduates. Von diesen waren 53 % weiblich und 47 % männlich; 2 % bezeichneten sich als asiatisch, 2 % als schwarz/afroamerikanisch, 6 % als Hispanic/Latino und 83 % als weiß. 152 (9,7 %) arbeiteten auf einen weiteren Abschluss hin, sie waren graduates. Es lehrten 177 Dozenten an der Universität, davon 108 in Vollzeit und 69 in Teilzeit. Der Wert des Stiftungsvermögens der Universität lag 2021 bei 103 Mio. US-Dollar und damit 32,7 % höher als im Jahr 2020, in dem es 78 Mio. US-Dollar betragen hatte. Sport Die Sportteams der Universität nennen sich die Purple Knights. 1958 erreichte das Basketballteam des College den 2. Platz in der NCCA-Liga. Die Eishockeymannschaft des College wurde 1999 der letzte Meister in der 2. Eishockey-Liga der NCAA. Danach wurde die Liga aufgelöst.
