Collection Includes Rare Long Trail Photos

We return now to "The Long Trail: Vermont’s Footpath Through History," our series about the 100th anniversary of the trail. As nearly everyone knows, the trail runs 270 miles along the ridgeline of the Green Mountains. But a valuable part of the trail’s history isn’t in the mountains at all.
