Heading down the road to the Story Homestead!
This scene is similar to what the Story family must
have come upon after Indians torched their cabin.
The story family hid in a cave that was dug into the side of the Otter Creek.
It measured approximately 4 feet high, 6 to 8 feet wide, and 12 feet deep.
There is a marker along the side of the Otter Creek marking this site. It is
accessible only by water. Carter was there some years back!
Next Stop, Farmingdale Cemetery - where Ann Story is buried.
Students search for Ann Story's gravestone.
"Here it is!"
Finally, the hike to Ethan Allen Cave.
Lily takes a sharp left turn :-)
Ethan Allen Cave!
The story is that Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys
stayed near or in this cave as they traveled through this way.
Lunch time!
No lunch for Kristi - she's busy teaching about caddisflies, frogs,
and oh, so much more!!! Thanks Kristi the Naturalist!
Ethan Allen Cave window photos!
Fun by the stream.
What kid doesn't love to hang out by a fast flowing stream?
Adults like it, too! For a different reason!
Calm, Calm, Calm!
Getting ready to head back to school!
