Blue slate Farm Walt Giard

My father's farm!!!

Hello Jeannette,

I would love to locate this photo on the maps as this film has no location data. Do you know the current address of this property?

Nathan,
Crown Point Road
Bridport, Vermont

I have pinned the location on the map does this look correct?

Attn: Nathan Lewis
I’m sorry Nathan. I did not see your reply until now!! I do not know what you mean by “pinning” this location on the map.

It means I have updated the exact location on the map which is just below and to the right of the photo. If your on mobile its directly below. You can zoom in and verify if my pin location is correct. If you sign up for one of our free accounts you can also adjust these pins!

Attn Nathan Lewis

You did fine; thank you!

1650 Crown Point Road, Bridport VT. My grandparents purchased this farm in @1928. My parents purchased the farm from my grandparents in 1955, and I grew up here with my 7 siblings. Our 14 first cousins lived within a half mile. My brother managed the farm from the 1980s when my father retired until about 2006. Soon after this photo was taken @1967, the main cow barn was doubled in size and storage sheds and silos were added. No one in the family is interested in farming, and the buildings and 550 acres are currently for sale.
