DONORS TO THE MUSEUM COLLECTION Merlin L. Acomb Judith M. Adams Anne LaBrusciano The Vermont Mutual Fire Insurance Company opened its doors in Montpelier in 1828 and is still in operation today on State Robert & Dona Bradish Street. The building on this sign was an early headquarters and is now a state office building. Though we don’t have a precise Warren F. Broderick date for this sign, it likely dates to the early 1900s, during the technological overlap between automobiles and horse-drawn Estate of J. Brooks Buxton carriages.

Each state, plus Hawaii and the District of Columbia, received Barry and Denise McCabe a boxcar filled with gifts from the citizens of France in 1949, in thanks for American aid provided after World War II. Local James and Lucille McCullough dignitaries, town offices, and other museums claimed items from Vermont’s car, and the remaining objects, including this child’s Gloria and Robert McEwen toy model of a Renault car, went to the Historical Society.
