Clarenden, Vermont- "Here is good marble, a mineral spring, and a curious cave. The soil is a gravelly loam, with considerable alluvial meadow along its streams." The link for the cave just goes in circles with a page that gives no other information.

The Natural Bridge of Stone is small, with a span of only five feet, and is an arch, not a bridge. It is located in Warren, Vermont, on private property.

Waterfalls in Vermont, most have photos that are beautiful. More Waterfalls.

Onion River- The word "winooski" comes from the language of the Abenaki tribe, and means "this is where the wild onions grow." I had searched for hours trying to find Onion River and finally found Winooski. That's Onion River! Try the Wikipedia Page to read so much more.

Manchester, Vermont "has a curious cave," perhaps but the only info I could find was this rescue from a cave named as Danby at Manchester. 

Middlesex, Vermont "There is a curious chasm in Middlesex, on Onion river, near Moretown. The river has worn a passage through rocks 30 feet in depth, 60 feet in width, and about 80 rods in length. The walls on each side are very smooth, over which a bridge is thrown. This place is worthy of a visit." The links go nowhere and give no other information.

Monkton, Vermont. "There is also a curious cavern in the town: after descending about 16 feet, you arrive at a room 30 feet long, and 16 wide. From this is a passage leading to a second apartment, which is not quite so large, but more pleasant."

Winooski or "Onion river, so called, has numerous tributaries, and is one of the most romantic streams in the country. The channels which have been worn in the rocks, by its ceaseless current, are objects of great admiration. In its passage through the mountains are found fissures through solid rocks from 30 to 100 feet in depth, with smooth perpendicular sides, 60 or 70 feet in width. In many places on this stream are natural bridges, curious caverns, and delightful water-falls."

Salisbury, Vermont- "There is a pleasant and flourishing village in the town and a large cavern, supposed to have been an Indian lodging place." This page describes the lake and the mountain with the cave.

Waterbury, Vermont. "In the southwest corner of the township, the passage of Onion river through a considerable hill, is considered a curiosity. The stream has here worn a channel through the rocks, which in times past, undoubtedly, formed a cataract below of no ordinary height, and a considerable lake above. The chasm is at present about one hundred feet wide, and nearly as deep. On one side the rocks are nearly perpendicular, some of which have fallen across the bed of the stream, in such a manner as to form a bridge, passable, however, only at low water. On the same side the rocks which appear to have been loosened and moved by the undermining of the water, have again rested, and become fixed in such a posture as to form several caverns or caves, some of which have the appearance of rooms fitted for the convenience of man. Several musket balls and flints were found in the extreme part of the cavern, a few years since, with the appearance of having lain there many years, which makes it evident that it was known to the early hunters." I did find a State Park at Waterbury. On the google intro, it mentioned there being a large cavern but on the site for the park, no mention at all. Use the State Park link to find all the state parks in Vermont. There are some very beautiful ones.

Everett Cave, "Southern Vermont College was lined up as the meeting spot. We got the meeting room in an even barter for a cleanup of Everett’s Cave, the college’s local 350-foot contribution to speleology. Officially, Everett’s Cave is closed. Call and ask to go in the cave, they’ll say no. But the cave in on a college property, there’s very little else to do in the immediate vicinity, and campus maps point out the cave just like they do the computer lab. So there’s no question about how there might be some excess travel in there." CLICK HERE to view a page of interest, even curious. But be warned that it is a Yahoo geocities webpage and you will find yourself suddenly getting junk mail, more than ever. Same as you would if you sent someone on yahoo an email or aol for that matter. Use caution but it is an interesting account of the clean up on the cave.

*The Mount Aeolus Cave in Dorset, Vermont Bennington county. This town was first settled in 1768, and organized the following year. Paulet and Battenkill rivers rise in this town, and, with the waters of Otter creek, which passes the northern part, afford some mill privileges, which are used for manufacturing purposes. There are two mountains partly in this town, the Dorset and Equinox. There is a cavern in the south part of the town of some note. [The Mount Aeolus Cave.] It is entered by an aperture nearly 10 feet square, "which opens into a spacious room nine rods in length and four wide. At the further end of this apartment are two openings which are about 30 feet apart. The one on the right is three feet from the floor and is about 20 inches by six feet in length. It leads to an apartment 20 feet long, 12 wide and 12 high. From this room there is an opening sufficient to admit a man to pass through sideways about 20 feet, when it opens into a large hall 80 feet long and 30 wide. The other aperture from the first room is about as large as a common door, and leads to an apartment 12 feet square, out of which is a passage to another considerable room, in which is a spring of water. This cavern is said to have been explored 40 or 50 rods without arriving at the end." Dorset lies 26 miles N. from Burlington and 91 S.S.W. from Montpelier. Population, 1830, 1,507. From Hayward's New England Gazetteer of 1839.
