Ethan Allen Homestead & Tower

This afternoon we got out to explore the Ethan Allen Homestead, which is just a mile from our campground. There is a possibility that I am related to Ethan Allen on my dad’s side. He would be my great^6 uncle, or something of the sort. 

After walking around his homestead we went to a regional park that houses the Ethan Allen Tower. The park used to be his farmland and the tower is on top of one of the highest points in the city. The tower was closed still, for the season, but it was pretty and the view even from the base was good.

Finally, while out running errands at night, we had one of the most beautiful sunsets we have seen, over the lake.
