landmarks

the rockingham meeting house is a national historic landmark a mile or so northwest of bellows falls, vermont --- construction started in 1787, completed 1800 --- neglected in the late nineteenth century and then very lightly restored in 1907 --- recorded by the historic american buildings survey in 1934 --- most of the original siding and hand-wrought nails remain on the exterior and most of the interior woodwork as well, including floor boards as much as 18" to 20" wide --- one of the best-preserved eighteenth-century buildings i've ever seen ---

the vermont country store is a couple of miles down the road, and upon visiting it, i realized it was one of the progenitors of cracker barrel --- i failed to photograph the vermont country store
