Burlington historical society's replica of the Francis Wyman house won 3rd place in Burlington's 2013 4th of July parade. The Francis Wyman House is the oldest house in town and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Rebecca Lofgren, a member of the Wyman family can be seen riding on the float in full costume as would be seen in 1666. Mike Tredeau from the Commission looked quite regal in his authentic clothing,
Our theme was "Living Peacefully Together in America". Native Americans and American Settlers
Traded goods, food and a new way of life in peace on the land of Francis Wyman. The Native American girls on the trailer are Molly and Meghan, grand daughters of the Gaffney's of the Historical Society
Fred Keene, a retired Burlington Firefighter, designed and built the Francis Wyman House for our float. Mr Keene is donating the structure to the Francis Wyman Association.
The artwork of the Native American and the American Settler was done by Gam Dhliwaya, a recent graduate of Burlington High School. We wish Gam success in her art career.
Thank you to all the members and children who never let the heat stop them from marching on. A day to remember!
