Exploring the past, one rabbit hole at a time.
We are looking east from Lewiston, Vermont. That’s the last covered Ledyard bridge, I believe.
Not sure exactly what year this was, but I think someone can identify the time and era of that building in the middle horizon. And the hillside looks freshly graded… I’d have liked to have seen that. I guess nothing compares to the projects done and being done on the north side of West Wheelock.
