To my surprise, when checking the satellite view/map of North Hero, I see that the old 4H site up the street has been turned into a park, "Camp Ingalls" Decades ago this was to be a state park, but the beach is not ideal since it is on a cliff, as I mentioned earlier in the thread. I found the you tube videos below of an arts performance there last year. Too bad the video camera was never turned around to face west, as the shadows show it is approaching sunset - no doubt a great view over the lake to the setting sun over the Adirondacks - August 24, 2012

........................
From Camp Ingalls - Butternut Hill Trail to the lake and back - similar to the treks we would make - can't copy the picture directly - the fields to the north and immediate northeast of the trial were part of my family's farm. On the "Points of Interest" section on the link below, there is a record a hiker made of his or her hike. The 1.40 mile hike makes reference to Camp Ingalls, Lakeside Flood Plain, Cedar Pine Bluff, Beach, and Vernal Pool. I remember cedars in the area. As I have said before on the thread, good for Vermont (and in this case North Hero) for preserving the land and the lake and the heritage.

I think quite a few French Canadians moved to New England during diffrent periods starting with the Acadians I think there is a Bisson in Marblehead Masachusetts 1750's or so after the French & Indian War.
I found another John Bisson in a muster roll for Pennsylvania war of 1812 he could also be Acadian as well I don't know but then people moved about pretty freely back then.
Great thread & interesting stuff for sure!

My father told me of harvesting wheat as a boy. His father pulled a combine with a gas-powered tractor, and his mother drove a wagon along the (cut) side of the combine, while a canvas hopper poured the grain from the combine into the wagon bed.
The horses did not like the noisy tractor, and kept edgeing away, so my father's job was to move from a plank nailed to the (wooden) side of the combine to the wagon side and back, keeping the canvas hopper belt from sagging or pulling loose and spilling the grain.
He said in the first two minutes he was coated in chaff and by the first lap the exhaust from the tractor would make him sick.

Same here..I think that the history of America is a lot like a construction project..It takes a lot of trades people to build it..
