Happy 250th Windsor, Vermont!
The Snapdragon Inn
Today Windsor is celebrating its 250th year since being chartered as a town on July 6, 1761. Then in 1777, the signers of the Constitution of Vermont Republic met in Windsor in what is now the Constitution House (just down from the Inn) to declare independence from Britain. The constitution was the first of its kind to abolish slavery, grant sufferages to non-landowning males and require free public education. Thus making Windsor, "the birthplace of Vermont". It didn't become the 14th state until 30 years after being chartered. There is a celebration on the State Street green this evening that we'll be attending. Windsor is a beautiful town with an incredibly vast list of accomplishments and rich rich history. May the next quarter millenium be prosperous and exciting for our town!
