Hello Friends of the Road,

Are you keeping cool? Switching to iced coffee now? Hydration is the word of the day it seems. I hope you’re all doing well. I can say that the local corn was not knee high as of the 4th of July, but it sure is growing now. That can be said for my gardens too. Should be a good year for a number of crops. 

The location for our upcoming outing makes me think of hot weather and thunderstorms. It seems common to get hit by one big storm at least one day of re-enactment weekend. I’ve experienced a number of those on our outreach day and have been thankful for the tent we bring. So if you need cover from the rain or the sun, be sure to stop in to say hello. We’d be happy to sell you merchandise, but we never solicit as we’re just happy to talk about history. Here is the full write-up for our outing: July 12: As part of the annual weekend of events to celebrate the historic battle in Hubbardton, and as one of the event’s regular attendees, the CPRA will have a booth on Saturday to meet visitors. Come attend the event and support your organization at the 
re-enactment. Admission for the weekend’s events will be charged on a per person, per day fee. For more info, call the Museum & Visitor Center at (802) 273-2282.

I have one website to share today. It is one I discovered recently. Or maybe someone shared it with me. I forget. If I’m not giving someone proper credit, I apologize. This is a nice brief narrative about the CPR. Link: https://ctriverbyways.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Crown-Point-Military-Road-Long-Narrative.pdf

Over the next few months, there will be big anniversaries to celebrate. There have been a few already, but many yet to come. And the fun doesn’t stop next year as there will be 250th anniversaries of historical events to celebrate for the next 8 years! I’ll try to keep you informed of these as they near. For now, I’m going to turn a page and move on to my next task. Enjoy the summer weather as it will go by very fast.
