The Grand Isle Historical Society Inc is a non-profit organization located in Grand Isle, Vermont. The society was founded in 1975 with the goal of preserving the rich history of Grand Isle and educating the public about its significance. The society is run by a board of volunteers who work tirelessly to maintain the organization's extensive collection of historical artifacts and documents.

The society's collection includes items such as photographs, letters, maps, and artifacts that date back to the early 18th century. The collection also includes a vast array of genealogical records, which are available to the public for research purposes. In addition to the collection, the society hosts a number of events throughout the year, including lectures, tours, and exhibitions that showcase the area's rich history.

The society is housed in the historic Hyde Log Cabin, which was built in 1783 and is one of the oldest structures in Grand Isle. The cabin has been restored and is open to the public for tours, providing visitors with a glimpse into the daily life of early settlers in the area.

Overall, the Grand Isle Historical Society Inc is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Grand Isle and the surrounding area.

Solar Eclipse 2024 - 22 degree halo 8 minutes before totality a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22%c2%b0_halo" rel="noreferrer nofollow">22° halo</a> formed around the sun and moon. This is caused by refraction of light by hexagonal ice crystals in the high clouds. Note that the sun was already more than 90% covered by the moon, though you could not tell from this photo as it was taken with a cell phone without filters.

St. Albans Bay under the total solar eclipse of April 8, 2024 No photo can provide the same experience as what was perceived a the time by the human brain. This one is not too good a match with what I remember. However it still shows that the horizon is illuminated like a sunset, except it is yellow all around (as there is no sun setting at any point in the horizon).

I had to adjust the color temperature of this photo to approximately match the colors that I remember sensing at the time.

homemade cheese Ricky made a hand-washed Trappist-style cheese. It was funky and delicious.

Eclipse 2024 We were in Swanton -- which was just about dead center of the path of totality. That said: there just wasn't a chance that my phone's camera was going to do it justice.
