I would like to invite you to explore my new website The POORHOUSE STORY at
http://www.poorhousestory.com which is a clearinghouse for information about
19th century American Poorhouses.
We have just added a photograph (from a postcard) of the poorhouse at
Burlington VT.
So far, we have not been able to find much information about poorhouses in
Vermont. We KNOW they were out there...because of the newspaper and magazine
articles to which we have referred on the site. If anyone can provide more
information, it would be greatly appreciated.
Directions: from the homepage, click on POORHOUSES BY STATE, then click on
OTHER STATES, then click on VERMONT in the table of states.
You may also enjoy the HISTORY PAGE, or the LETTER TO GENEALOGISTS ...
or...well, just browse to your heart's content!
Hope you enjoy the site. Feel free to post any information you may have
about that or any other poorhouse ... either on the MESSAGE BOARD or by
e-mailing me. The only way this site will grow to include more VERMONT info
is by kind folks tipping me off to it!!! <grin>
Please don't respond to me on this list. (I would likely get dropped by my
ISP if I maintained subscriptions to all the e-mail lists on which I post
announcements!! <grin>)
Thanks,
Linda Crannell
