On Old Stone House Day, Sunday, the farmyard-chore relay gave a crowd of onlookers something entertaining to watch. As Beth Barnes cried “Go,” Ben Bertrand of Jay raced to tackle the tasks common to those who lived long ago. This year marks the hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Orleans County Historical Society.

Courtney Mead from North Troy, a regular at Old Stone House Day, shows basic blacksmithing skills to anyone interested in the trade. He started metalworking in college and has been working the forge in Brownington since 1996.

Bryson Dodge gets to be the one to ring the noon bell in the steeple of the Brownington Village Church after attending the Sunday service.
