A comfortable
Victorian home in central Vermont, Maplecroft offers three guest
bedrooms - each with an exclusive bath and a handmade quilt on
every bed. Built in 1887 by granite sculptor Robert Mackie,
Maplecroft is a short walk from downtown Barre, the Granite capital
of the world. Mr Mackie was one of many immigrants from
Scotland who made their homes in 19th century Barre to bring
their stone cutting expertise to the local granite quarries.
A statue honoring Robert Burns overlooks the town from a knoll
just below Maplecroft and serves as a reminder of Barre's Caledonian
heritage. |
