Ghost Towns of Vermont
Vermont's abandonments are pastoral: hillside farm districts and their villages emptied by merino collapse and western migration, plus quarry and logging settlements the forest has swallowed whole.
177 sites surveyed across Vermont — 1 charted with full records so far, entered by year of settlement. The rest are awaiting verification.
