Hardwick, Vermont, in 1892 was a granite and farming town in the Lamoille River valley of Caledonia County. Quarrying and cutting stone for monuments and building work gave the village much of its payroll, and the railroad that ran up the valley carried finished granite and farm goods out to markets beyond the hills. Skilled stonecutters, many of them immigrants, worked in the sheds alongside farm families who sold milk, hay, and maple sugar in the village. The town's streets, mills, churches, and shops in this view reflect a community whose fortunes rose and fell with the quarries and the seasons of its surrounding dairy and timber country.

| Notes | An original bird's-eye view map of Hardwick, Vermont, drawn in 1892. Bird's-eye view maps were drawn by travelling artists who walked a town street by street, sketching every building from an imagined vantage point in the air, then sold the finished lithograph door to door by subscription. Roughly five thousand American towns were recorded this way between the 1860s and the 1920s, and for many of them the panoramic map is the most complete picture of the place that survives. Reproduced from the original in the Library of Congress collections. Printed to order on archival paper. Free shipping on all US orders. |
