Summary
| Description |
English: Two hundred years ago, an Englishman by the name of Captain William Swanton founded what is now known as the Town of Swanton, Vermont. On the occasion for the 3rd annual Swanton Summer Festival it was deemed desirable that a link with Britain, the homeland of the founder of Swanton, should be established in a tangible manner, and thus on the 29th day of July, in the year 1961, two swans were formally presented by Hon. T.A. Kirkland, M.D., minister without Portfolio, Province of Quebec, and accepted by F. Ray Keyser, Jr., Governor of the State of Vermont.
The swans, by kind permission of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, and in conjunction with the Norfolk Naturalist Trust of Hickling Broad, Norfolk, England and the office of the Clerk of the Smallburgh Rural District Council, which includes the Village of Swanton Abbot, were obtained and transported by Trans-Canada Air Lines. The Swanton Chamber of Commerce, which plans the Summer Festival, hopes that the swans will serve as an example to all who pass of the international friendship which exists between, Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. |
