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 (aka=The Poorhouse Lady)
