It is located on a 7-½ acre terrace between the Connecticut River to the east and Mount Olivet Cemetery to the west. Camp meetings were religious gatherings in a natural setting, characterized by large audiences attending religious services with on-site camping and lodging for an extended period of time.1 The Advent Camp Meeting Grounds consist of thirty-three buildings, one structure and one object. Established in 1887, the Advent Camp remains in active use and still hosts religious gatherings and services each summer. The buildings that make up the camp are of simple design and construction, and reflect national architectural trends in late 19th/early 20th century camp meeting grounds. These buildings consist of small residential cottages and service buildings including classrooms, dormitories, dining hall, kitchen and tabernacle. While minor changes in layout and limited new construction has occurred since its founding in 1887, overall the Advent Camp Meeting Grounds Historic District retains integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. ______________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description The Advent Camp Meeting Grounds Historic District consists of three separate buildings for group lodging, two separate classroom buildings, a kitchen building, baptistery, tabernacle, residential cottages and a single gravestone. Established in 1887, the Advent Camp Meeting Grounds host evangelical events attended by people of multiple denominations for extended 1 Lampl, Elizabeth Jo with Clare Lise Kelly, “Historic Context Report “A Harvest in the Open for Saving Souls -The Camp Meetings of Montgomery County,” Montgomery County Planning Department Historic Preservation Section, Maryland Historical Trust, July 2004. Section 7 page 4 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Advent Camp Meeting Grounds Historic District Windsor, Vermont Name of Property County and State periods of time. The meeting grounds are located in the Taft’s Flats neighborhood of White River Junction, named after Orren A. Taft, a farmer who owned all of the land in the present day neighborhood. The 7-½ acre site is located between the Connecticut River to the east and Mount Olivet Cemetery to the west. With the rapid growth of evangelical camp meetings throughout America in the mid-19th century, the Reverend B.W. Gorham’s 1854 Camp Meeting Manual influenced many northeastern camp meeting grounds’ design and layout. Gorham, a Methodist minister, felt the camp meeting grounds should be kept “as simple as possible, with modest cloth tents … [as] he felt it was important to have society tents so that member churches could hold more private prayer meetings.”2 Gorham felt that meeting grounds required a circular layout “for the worship area, with the preaching stand at the north end so the audience would not face the sun. Buildings were generally unheated, as they were intended for summer use.”3 The layout of the Advent Camp Meeting Grounds originally reflected Gorham’s circular design, but an 1895 fire resulted in a layout change to more of a horseshoe pattern, with the tabernacle located at the northern end of the site and the baptistery in the center. The cottages, originally densely clustered together, were also spaced farther apart in order to avoid another disaster caused by flames spreading from building to building. To accomplish this task, “…several of the cottages were lifted onto logs and moved, by horsepower, to their current location in the center green.”4 The religious camp meetings of the late 19th century “were largely open-air affairs, with rows of seats facing a preaching stand."5 This description of a camp meeting is accurate of the White River Junction camp. The large grassy area in the middle of the circle/horseshoe “was mostly occupied by a series of benches, which would allow two preachers to stand at either end of the green to deliver

  • Town of Hartford Draft Town Plan
    TOWN OF HARTFORD DRAFT TOWN PLAN March 11, 2019* Prepared by the Hartford Planning Commission with the assistance from the Hartford Department of Planning and Development Services and the Town Plan Steering Committee * This Plan has been updated since the 2/22/19 Draft. The additions are highlighted in red and underlined, and deletions are highlighted in red with the slash-out feature. In some instances, these reflect relocation and not substantial changes. INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION TO TOWN PLANNING According to the book, “Essentials of Land Use Planning and Regulation” by the Vermont Land Use Education and Training Collaborative, “the municipal plan is the visionary document that assesses the current status of a community and lays out a vision for the future.” Used interchangeably with the term “Town Plan”, it is an in-depth, comprehensive, long range study that provides the framework for future decisions regarding land use, transportation, community facilities and services, utilities, natural resources, historic resources, and housing. It is a guide that establishes a strategy on how to grow while managing the community’s resources and maintaining a high quality of life. The Town Plan provides the basis for public and private investment. It also establishes an implementation program that provides a means of achieving the community vision. HARTFORD’S GEOGRAPHY Hartford, Vermont is located at the confluence of the White and Connecticut Rivers and includes a third river, the Ottauquechee. It is also at the junction of Interstate Highways 89 and 91 and the junction of U.S. Highways 4 and 5 on the eastern side of Vermont about halfway up the state.
