The Ethan Allen Homestead celebrated local area town's 250th anniversary celebrations with a mini history expo Sunday. Many towns in Vermont were chartered by New Hampshire Governor Benning Wentworth in 1763. Fairfax is one of those and we will be celebrating on August 18th with a birthday party.
Many thanks to Barbara Murphy, who joined me at the Homestead to represent the Fairfax Historical Society.
