Wilson Castle
(Proctor,
Vermont)
Excerpts from Kristy:
Another
place that tickled our eccentric funny bone. It is the only
castle in Vermont. Yet another instance of someone falling
in love with Vermont and deciding to build a monstrosity of
a house (see Hildene).
This isn't exactly what I think of when I hear 'castle',
but nonetheless it fits the necessary requirements. The castle
is in bad shape in some places. The museum is looking to get
some federal funding, so until then you'll have to deal with
a few crumbling ceilings. But the tour guides are friendly
and a descendant of the original builder still lives in the
house. Can't beat that. Definitely worth a stop and the tour.
