 Bus Trip
The Castleton Community Center will sponsor a bus trip to Manchester
Vermont on Friday, August 8th.
Our first stop will be a tour of Hildene. Robert Todd Lincoln built
Hildene as a summer home in the early 1900’s. He was the only child
of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln to survive to maturity. Robert
first visited Manchester as a young man in the summers of 1863 and 1864
when he came to the Equinox Hotel with his mother and his brother Tad.
He was so taken by the beauty of Vermont that some forty years later he
returned to purchase 500 acres of land to build what he would call his
ancestral home.
After the Hildene tour, we will have lunch at Southern Vermont Arts
Center. The Garden Café has offered a 10% discount for our group.
Menu items range from $8.00 to $10.50. After lunch we will tour the
Art Center and then head home. The bus will leave the Center at 8:30
and return around 4:30pm. The fee is $20.00 for nonmembers and
$18.00 for members. The fee includes transportation and admission at
both Hildene and the Art Center. Lunch is on your own. Only a
few seats left on the bus! Make your reservation now!
