Echo Lake Inn

A lovely antique inn from the Victorian era. Two miles down route 100 from the cottage.

The Echo Lake Inn was built in 1840 as a Victorian summer hotel. Today it remains one of the few authentic Vermont country inns operating year round. The Vermont Country Inn’s rich heritage includes frequent visits by President Calvin Coolidge, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and many other historic figures.

A guest of the Inn in the 1890’s said of Tyson, the town in which the Inn is located, “It is one of the few places where the dog star seems to be robbed so completely of his power”. It is still that peaceful and quiet.

The original Inn was built in 1799 to the rear of the existing Inn. It collapsed under a severe storm in the 1970’s, having served as an antique shop in its declining years. The popularity of the original Inn, located on the main stage-coach line, was instant and led to the construction of the existing Inn around 1840. The Inn was built by Frank Josselyn for a reported $500.00. It is also reported to be only one of six Inns in Vermont functioning today that was originally built as an inn.

I'm very fond of this inn because my grandparents were married there on July 20, 1929.
Howard & Margaret Armstrong

This picture is much larger on both ends.

Howard & Margaret built the cottage in 1934 on land that was passed down from Nathaniel Bowman Brown. Nathaniel marched on the land during the Revolutionary War. He returned after the war with other men and settled the town of Plymouth which was originally named Saltash.

This is the 2nd story I wrote about this inn. I guess you can't have too much of a good thing!

Lake Amherst: The link to General Jeffrey Amherst and the Revolutionary War

I had a hunch that our cottage was on land marched over during the Revolutionary War so I did some research. General Jeffrey Amherst and his men marched from Fort No. Four to Fort Ticonderoga during the "War of the Revolution" or Revolutionary War....
