Ethan Allen

Scott and I went to Vermont this weekend.  It was beautiful and we were able to see many little towns as we traveled around.  We saw a young deer along the road as we were heading back home and fortunately he headed back into the woods before we got close to him.  One of the main projects we had was finding Ethan Allen's grave-site which we did and we were also able to find his homestead.  Why Ethan Allen?  Well Ava wrote to us about him.  She had learned about him in her class and wanted to know if we knew anything about him?  Now we can say we do.

This monument was constructed in the
Green Mount Cemetery in honor of Ethan Allen

The truth is that there was no picture of Ethan Allen
so what Ethan Allen looked like was from descriptions given
by those who knew him.

This was the home of Ethan Allen and his family.

As you come out the front door this is what he saw.
It is truly a beautiful state.
