Description
"Waits River" is a photograph of an autumn street scene in the village of Waits River, Vermont. The winding road leads to the historic New Hope United Methodist Church. Waits River, East Topsham, and West Topsham are three villages that comprise the town of Topsham. The winter is long, the summer is full of activities, the spring and fall are glorious. The people there are independent, hard working and ingenious. There are farmers, loggers, carpenters, contractors, artists, authors and business people. Only a few operating dairy farms remain but many folks live a rural life with backyard livestock and vegetable gardens. Maple Sugaring still happens in Topsham every spring. Some sugarmakers hang a few buckets and boil sap on a wood stove. Others have the latest state of the art sugaring equipment and sugarhouses. These villages are representative of back country hill towns in Vermont.
