Enonsburg, Vermont, in 1892 sat in a state whose economy still rested mainly on dairy farms, sugarbush, and woodlots, with granite and marble quarrying growing in other parts of Vermont. The state's population had been falling for decades as young men left for western farms and mill towns, so villages of this size were often quieter than they had been a generation earlier. Town meeting, held each March, was the main civic event, where residents voted on roads, schools, and aid for the poor. Railroads in the valleys linked small places like this one to larger markets. Few detailed histories of this particular village survive, so the streets and buildings shown here are best read as a record of what a resident of the period would have walked past daily.

| Notes | An original bird's-eye view map of Enonsburg, 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. |
