Cow and horse barn Addison, Vermont Built circa late 1800s - early 1900s Prior to French explorer Samuel de Champlain’s visit in 1609, the town of Addison was home to both the Abenaki and Iroquois Indians. Set on the banks of Lake Champlain, Addison lies along what was known as “The Great Warpath”. This was the series of waterways that provided access to what later became New York City to the south, and the cities of New France to the north, serving as the primary strategic thoroughfare during the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary Wars. After the wars, the area was quickly recognized for its agricultural potential with people claiming land, settling the area and formally founding the town of Addison in 1761. Perched along the shores of Lake Champlain, this farmstead dates back to the late 1700s. The large barn on the right was built in the early 1800s (actually two smaller barns joined together) and was used for dairy cows. The secondary barn on the left was used for draft horses. The land was also formerly part of the site of Yankee Kingdom Orchards (circa1900-2000) and the back portion of the cow barn was used to make cider. Also available in the following sizes: 24"x26" 36"x39" 42"x46" 54"x59"
