Thomas Jefferson Slept Here - a photo on Flickriver

            Nikon F5, Nikkor 24mm f2.8, Kodak Tmax, orange filter.

This is the old Walloomsac Inn, a very sadly derelict structure in old Bennington Vermont. It was built around 1764 - well, probably not this part, but the older rectangular front part. The title of this photo is a play on the New England placard 'George Washington slept here,' sometimes seen on old houses - the veracity of which is often unproven. However, in 1791, it is well-documented that Jefferson and James Madison actually did stay here when the two were visiting the new state of Vermont.

It was sad to see this place in the current state that it sits. It's privately owned and posted private property no trespassing, so I only took a few pictures from the road. I like how this one turned out under the canopy of a tree across the street.
