The Dana Carbonneau Memorial Garden
The photo above is by Wingnut. He was very interested in this because it is so different than the ones in Connecticut.Dana Carbonneau, the principal of Orleans Elementary School, was estimated to be the eleventh person ever killed in Vermont because of a collision with a moose after he hit one in Woodbury on June 13, 2003. The first human fatality was in the early 1980s, said Mr. Hamelin.
The first log cabin in Orleans, built by Paul and David McNeal in 1827. It is only 15 square feet. There was no sugarhouse vent then, of course. Seen on Cottage St, Orleans in somebody's backyard.

The quest returned us to the school where we began. The treasure box was supposed to be near the cornerstone but was not there. Please see my Flickr Orleans Village Quest Set for a few more photos and to view these photos full size.
