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.
