"Free Vermont Mountain Vacations!" That was the wording on the brochure my father, Irving, gave out in the East Village/ Lower East Side in the mid-Sixties. People came to hear him speak at our storefront, the Gallery Gwen, and then would make the trip to Quarry Hill crowded into one of his old cars, sometimes lying across one another's laps.
He didn't charge, but he did ask for a donation -- usually $10 to $12 a week, as I recall. While we might have to ask for a little more today, we don't ask for very much: rooms in our common building rent for $125-250 a month or so, and houses-- negotiable but inexpensive.
Visiting Quarry Hill is a great way to get a sense of Vermont's beauty and all it has to offer without spending much money. If you only have a week or so to spend in the Green Mountains, let me know, and let's see what we can work out!
