Description
Image is a digital painting of Howe Acre Farm in South Tunbridge, Vermont. Four red barns have repeating rooflines. A silo, farm truck and clouds add interest to the scene. The town of Tunbridge consists of three village centers, named North Tunbridge (also known locally as "Blood Village"), Tunbridge Village ("Market") and South Tunbridge ("Jigger"). The town of Tunbridge was created in 1761, by a royal charter. In 1780, the town line of Tunbridge and Royalton was the site of the last major raid of the Revolutionary War in New England. In the "Royalton Raid" three hundred Indians led by British soldiers invaded from Canada along the First Branch of the White River. The result was the destruction of dozens of homes, crops and livestock necessary to survive the coming winter. Although women and girls were not harmed, 28 men and boys were taken captive and marched to Canada to be imprisoned. In the years that followed, many of the captives made their way back to their families, but some never returned. The entire center of Tunbridge Village was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.
