Hildene

Abraham Lincoln had one child who lived to adulthood: Robert Todd Lincoln. RTL loved Vermont, and had a summer home here outside Manchester, VT. Nonni, Poppi, the oldest cousins, and I had a lovely morning exploring the mansion and grounds around Hildene. The weather was ideal, and the place is simply beautiful.

We also visited the Hildene Goat Farm and watch them milking, as well as investigating the rectangular pupils on the goats. It’s TRUE, Ms. Paula, they were rectangles.

Another great day.
