Hi All,
A friend and I are planning a research trip to Vermont in June and are looking for any help that any Vermonters are willing to share. We will be flying into Burlington and will spend a couple of days there as one of the counties I am researching is Chittenden. From there, we will make our way down doing research in Orange, Windsor, and Windham counties. We need suggestions on places to stay that are clean, reasonable and also have internet connection. Also, places to eat. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Also, any suggestions on research tactics would help. As we understand it, all of the older records can only be found at the town level. Is it worth our while to go to the Vermont Historical Society’s library in Barre? Do they have microfilm of the older records? We are both looking at the late 1700s and early 1800s. We are used to doing research at county seats that have all of the county information. Again, any suggestions will be appreciated.

What can we expect of the weather in June? We are from OK and TX and have never been to VT before. We are definitely looking forward to this trip.

In a nutshell – HELP!

Thanks in advance, Nancy
