Original Milestone Enclosed In Marker


"Old milestone erected by Harford and Tolland Turnpike Company 1801. Six miles to Tolland Court House. McLean Tavern Build in 1792 stood on these grounds. Marker placed by Sabra Trumbull Chapter DAR June 14, 1934."


This marker stands in front of an old schoolhouse, which is to become the “Vernon Community Arts Center” at what is called in town the "kindergarten building" at 709 Hartford Turnpike.


Town minutes note that the Vernon Town Council endorsed the selection of Quisenberry Arcari Architects LLC as the design contractor for the conversion of the school and approved the cost of $97,500.
