Abandoned Places

Bomoseen State Park

Castleton, VT

West Castleton's slate-era ruins line Lake Bomoseen in Vermont's Bomoseen State Park — quarry holes, mill walls and Irish workers' cellar holes on the Slate History Trail. The lake adds its own famous phantom: a rowboat that crosses with no rower.

Abandoned Places

Ricker Basin Ghost Settlement

Waterbury, VT

Ricker Basin in Vermont's Little River State Park holds a vanished hill farm community — cellar holes, walls and the Ricker cemetery along its history trail, emptied by hard land and the 1927 flood. Trail telling keeps lantern lights among the maples.
