I recall hearing about a model town composed of old stores and houses from towns all across Vermont. My recollections was that it was call Sherburne Village (but that may be incorrect). Anyway, when my father was very old he visited this "village" and thought he was seeing something out of the "Twilight Zone." He grew up in Barre and went to Dr. Jarvis for eye glasses. Apparently the developers of this model village had recreated Dr. Jarvis' office right down the tiniest detail. Dad walked in the place and knew he had been there, only it should have been in Barre as far as he knew. He was spooked! This was the same Dr. Jarvis who wrote a book about Arthritis.

Jarvis. He thought apple cider vinegar and water was the drink that would cure whatever ailed you, especially arthritis. That and unprocessed honey were his favorite "remedies", taken as part of a long-term habit of eating. I have a copy, and I refer to it on occasion. It has a good, solid, nutritionally-based approach to health. That's a funny story about the recreated office. I believe it is at the Shelburne Museum (with an "L"), in Shelburne, just south of Burlington near Lake Champlain. Sherburne (with an "R") is in south central Vermont, on the north side of Killington Peak. Darrell
