Celebrate the Darkness

Announcement: In light of the recent snow storm which graced us with 20+ inches, we are preparing for some righteous MUD! That means we’ll be limiting new RSVPs to ensure everyone has good parking and nobody gets stuck. We will watch the weather and ground conditions and will open up more parking spaces if melt is fast and things dry out.

Come watch the total eclipse from our southwest facing hillside vantage point! We have an uninterrupted view of the southwestern sky where the eclipse will take place. We’ll be burning the grill and pizza oven all afternoon, and offering plenty of hot and cold drinks. Responsible BYOBs with a designated driver are welcome.

We are asking a $20 per vehicle suggested entrance fee to help cover refreshments, but nobody will be turned away for lack of funds. We must have RSVP to ensure we have adequate parking prepared. We will have a few pairs of eclipse viewing glasses available but we suggest bringing your own if at all possible.

We do have some limited space for campers and couch crashers traveling in for the event. Keep in mind, April is usually still behaving like winter in these parts and there may be snow and ice, and there will very likely be mud.

About the eclipse: On April 8, 2024 at 2:14 p.m., a partial solar eclipse will begin, and at 3:26 p.m., a total eclipse will darken Vermont's daytime sky, lasting about 3 minutes. The phenomenon will continue as a partial eclipse until 4:37 p.m. The next time Vermont will be in the path of totality is 2106, so see it while you can!
