Lake Bomoseen is a freshwater lake in the western part
of the state of Vermont in the towns of Castleton and Hubbardton
in Rutland County. It is the
largest lake that lies entirely within the state’s boundaries, with a surface area
of approximately 2,400 acres. The lake
was formed by glaciation and has an average and maximum depth of 27 feet and 65
feet respectively. It drains a 24,770-acre
watershed, has five major inlets, and empties to the Castleton River, a
tributary of the Poultney River, which in turn flows west to East Bay
at the southern end of Lake Champlain.
Bomoseen State Park occupies a portion of the lake’s western shoreline. Most of the remaining area around the lake is
privately owned. The lake has such recreational accommodations as a public
beach, marinas, and public boat launches, in addition to the State Park.
The lake started attracting summer guest early
on and hotels and resorts sprung up in the late 19th century. “The Glenwood” was one of those early
hotel/resorts but I could not find any history or information on it or the era in general.
It is on this card, which is the
only vignette that I could find of “The Glenwood”. I found other “Glenwood” cards but this one
is unique as far as I could tell. It was
published by “Herbert W. Smith”, a jeweler that was located in Fair
Haven Vermont, postmarked 1910 and is in good condition with minor wear
except a bent upper right corner and a clean, clear image and reverse.
The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections.
Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible. Corrections appreciated.
