Thanks for the photo, Steve! I would like to offer another interpretation of what we are looking at, however, as I actually am pretty sure that it is not Butler Island. In fact, I think we are looking at an aerial view of Burton Island, and the view is northeast across to Hathaway Point and what is now Kill Kare State Park and into St. Albans Bay. The large mountain in the distance (center of the photo) appears to be Mount Mansfield (and maybe Jay Peak to the left?). Thus, the agricultural fields would be the shores of St. Albans Bay and Georgia. The south end of Butler Island is shaped differently than what we see in this photo. If we saw islands off the south end (looking southwest), we would see both Damias and Knight Island, and then the flat island shores of North and South Hero (not quite the rising landscape we see here). Great view, though! Any other interpretations? I will miss that first "cold wind
in the face ride" over in April but I will be thinking of everyone! Warm wishes, Erin Bray Gibson

Happy Monday Everyone -
Just stumbled across this project at UVM that is capturing many
historical photos of VT and saw this aerial photograph of the southern
part of "Butler's Island" in their archive:

Amazing to see it back when it wasn't covered with trees and shrubs like
it has been since I have known it in the last 10 years or so. I was
also really surprised to see that the Town of North Hero has a website I
hadn't seen before:

T-Minus 3 or 4 weeks?
