Historic photographs document the history of one of Vermont's finest
spots, Lake Bomoseen.
Lake Bomoseen- the largest lake entirely within Vermont's borders- once
attracted thousands of visitors each year. Its resorts and restaurants
welcomed travelers of all stripes, from Walt Disney and Harpo Marx to
humble groups of workers and families. Crowds flocked to beaches and
picnic areas during the daytime, and headliners like Frank Sinatra and
Louis Armstrong kept the Casino at the lake buzzing late into the night.
Donald H. Thompson describes these and other glamorous moments in Lake
Bomoseen's past and explains how the area has evolved since the last
hotels and dance halls closed their doors. Carefully researched and
accompanied by dozens of rare images, this is the definitive history of
one of Vermont's finest spots.
