The Hull Family at the Rabbit Hill Motor Lodge

Judy Hull Groskopf provided these wonderful photos from the late 1950s or early 1960s, while her father Alden "Tony" Hull managed the Rabbit Hill Motor Lodge in Lower Waterford, Vermont, along with the St. Johnsbury House. Here he is, on the porch with Judy -- and here's his wife Margaret, enjoying a break from raising three daughters with Tony.

Do you have photos of the Rabbit Hill Inn from another time period? It would be wonderful to see them. Join us at the Rabbit Hill Reminiscence Reunion, on Wed. July 25th at 6:30 pm, across the road from the inn, in the church Community Room. Refreshments and good memories to share.

When Alden Hull Managed the Rabbit Hill Inn in Lower Waterford

Recently Christopher Ryan, a St. Johnsbury Academy alumnus, wrote to the Caledonian-Record about Alden Hull, whose daughters still live in this area. Here is his letter (if you click on the image, it should enlarge so you can read it):

And here is a postcard featuring the inn with its "Motel" sign on the roof, from the days when Mr. Hull managed it along with the St. Johnsbury House. At some point, the Waterford Historical Society hopes to host a gathering of people who worked for Mr. Hull -- many worked in both locations at the time, according to the day's needs.
