Crowds flocked to beaches and picnic areas during the daytime, and headliners like Frank Sinatra and Louis Armstrong kept the Casino at the lake buzzing late into the night. Its resorts and restaurants welcomed travelers of all stripes, from Walt Disney and Harpo Marx to humble groups of workers and families. Carefully researched and accompanied by dozens of rare images, this is the definitive history of one of Vermont's finest spots.. Lake Bomoseen- the largest lake entirely within Vermont's borders- once attracted thousands of visitors each year. Donald H. Thompson describes these and other glamorous moments in Lake Bomoseen's past and explains how the area has evolved since the last hotels and dance halls closed their doors
I also was interested in the book because it tells a great story of my grandfather I saw this book a while ago and was so intrigued. I had heard many of the stories that surround the history of Lake Bomoseen as I grew up in Castleton, VT and currently work nearby. I also was interested in the book because it tells a great story of my grandfather, Charles E. Brough. He began a "resort" on the lake, which was successful for quite a while. But the accuracy of the book is top-notch, as verified by those many stories from my childhood. My hat is off to Donald H. Thompson, the author of this book that captures the. "a must read" according to R Smith. This book is a must read for anyone interested in Vermont's Lake Bomoseen. It's a good collection of photos, memories and anecdotes that create a history of the lake.. "Bought as a gift and it was LOVED!" according to M. I bought this as a gift for my father who grew up going to Lake Bomoseen. I flipped through it before I gave it to him and I was really enjoying the pictures and what I read of it as I was perusing the pages. But my father went absolutely crazy over it. He keeps reading me parts of it over the phone, and asking me if I knew this or that happened. (Even he didn’t know some of the history of the early days of the lake.) But it brought back a lot of happy memories and for that, it is worth its weight in gold.
