I STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The properties are utilized by the public for general visitation as well as for specific Division sponsored programs. From time to time, requests may be made by outside organizations or individuals to use a State-Owned Historic Site for purposes of conducting meetings, private affairs, public programming or commercial uses. This policy guides and permits activities that further the appreciation of Vermont's cultural heritage while at the same time preserving these sites for future generations.

Appendix A. Division for Historic Preservation: Aims and Objectives for the State-Owned Historic Sites

The Vermont Division for Historic Preservation collects, preserves, manages and exhibits materials representative of or possessing importance to the interpretation of the history and prehistory of the area now know as Vermont. This shall be done in accordance with the mission statements for its historic sites in order to create a greater awareness and understanding of the past for all people.

1.1 BENNINGTON BATTLE MONUMENT: This 306' 4 1/2" blue-grey magnesian limestone monolith was completed in 1891 and was built to commemorate the August 16, 1777 Revolutionary War Battle of Bennington. The Monument was built on the site of the military storehouse which was one of the objectives of the battle. The Monument offers the public a view of the surrounding countryside. The actual battlefield is in New York state and is one of the New York state historic sites. The nearby Bennington Museum collects, interpretes, conserves, and displays historic artifacts relating to the Battle. The Monument does not collect artifacts but does collect materials relating to the Monument's archaeology, its construction and its role as a historic landmark (i.e., Monument souvenirs).
1.2 CHESTER A. ARTHUR HISTORIC SITE: The structure on this site was built in 1953 as a replica of the birthplace of the future president. Because of a research error, this was not the correct site of the actual birthplace but the site of the parsonage where the Arthur family, with the new-born Chester Alan Arthur, moved in 1830. This is a non-collecting site which interprets the life and career of President Arthur. There is a small picnic area on the grounds. The State also owns a circa 1840 brick church located on a nearby ledgy hillside which is the location of the church where the father of the future served as preacher. The church has no plumbing or electricity and is open to the public for visitation. This building can be used for meetings and weddings if such use is scheduled in advance.
1.3 CHIMNEY POINT STATE HISTORIC SITE: This is an early Native American settlement site with a tradition of seventeenth and early eighteenth century European settlement. The earliest section of the building dates to the late eighteenth century with various additions made up through the early twentieth century. The Division for Historic Preservation will mount an exhibit on the Native American and French settlement of the Champlain valley at this site in conjunction with an exhibit on the building's evolution. At this site materials are collected which relate to the Native American and French heritage in Vermont as well as objects which illustrate the history of the Chimney Point site, the buildings, and its inhabitants. On the site is a mid-nineteenth century house which is operated by the Addison County Chamber of Commerce as an information center.
1.4 CONSTITUTION HOUSE: It was in this building, the tavern operated by Elijah West, that the Constitution for the "Free and Independent State of Vermont" was written and adopted in 1777. The building was moved to its present location in 1914 and had an addition added to the rear to serve as a "tearoom". The site collects and displays materials relating to the building and its various uses from the late 18th Century to the time of acquisition by the State (1961) as well as materials pertaining to the framing of the Vermont Constitution of 1777, the Republic and early state, with emphasis on the Windsor region.
1.5 EUREKA SCHOOLHOUSE: This is a one-room schoolhouse built circa 1790 and is one of the few surviving 18th century public buildings in Vermont. The building was dismantled and restored at its present location in 1968. A 1870 Town Lattice Truss covered bridge was moved to the site in 1970. The site collects and displays materials relating to the building and its use as a public school from the late 18th Century to 1900. It also collects materials pertaining to the Baltimore Covered Bridge of North Springfield and with covered bridges in general.
1.6 FOREST DALE IRONWORKS: This is the site of a stone nineteenth century iron blast furnace. It is an important industrial archaeological site which will be developed to interpret the industrial heritage and tradition of manufacturing in Vermont. The site collects and will eventually exhibit materials associated with the operations of the 19th Century ironworks and the ironworking industry in Vermont.
1.7 HISTORIC BRIDGES: The Division owns the following historic bridges: the Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge, the Hammond Covered Bridge, the Scott Covered Bridge, the Shoreham Covered Railroad Bridge, the Medburyville Iron Bridge and the site of the Swanton Covered Railroad Bridge. The bridges are open for pedestrian use (with the exception of the Fisher Covered Railroad Bridge which is still in active use as a railroad bridge) and the Division collects manuscripts and archival materials associated with these State-Owned historic bridges.
1.8 HYDE LOG CABIN: This cabin was constructed in 1783 and is considered one of the oldest log cabins in the United States. The cabin was moved to the present site in 1956 and the roof restored in 1985 The present collection at the site belongs to the Grand Isle County Historical Society. A long range goal of the Division is to interpret the building as an eighteenth century pioneer cabin and its place in the frontier settlement of present-day Vermont.
1.9 HUBBARDTON BATTLEFIELD: This is the site of the July 7, 1777 Revolutionary War Battle of Hubbardton. The battle was a rearguard action led by the American Col. Seth Warner and the Green Mountain Boys, with Colonial troops from Massachusetts and New Hampshire to delay the advance of the British in their campaign to cut New England off from the other Colonies. The site collects interprets and displays materials relating to the events, people, and area of the July 7, 1777 battle.
1.10 MOUNT INDEPENDENCE: This is the site of a major Revolutionary War fortification and is jointly owned and administered by the Division for Historic Preservation and the private Fort Ticonderoga Association which owns the northern portion of the "Mount". The site is a National Historic Landmark and an important archaeological site which has been called by the National Park Service the least disturbed major Revolutionary War site in the Nation. The Division and Fort Ticonderoga, with an advisory committee made up of a representative from the Orwell Board of Selectmen, the Board of School Directors of Orwell, and the Orwell Historical Society, will develop the site using high archaeological standards to ensure the continued preservation of the site. The site collects materials associated with the site and area, including prehistoric materials, and the occupation of Mount Independence during the Revolutionary War area.

Appendix B. Safety Guidelines for Black Powder Use at the State-Owned Historic Sites

The leather must be heavy enough to perform its intended function.

[See graphic or tabular material in printed version]
