Cover photo: A gift from railroad tycoon and for-mer St. Albans resident and Vermont Governor John Gregory Smith, this beautiful zinc fountain has graced Taylor Park since 1887. Locally referred to as “The Maidens” or “The Ladies”, the fountain is cur-rently undergoing extensive restoration by Robinson Iron Works in Alabama, and will return to Taylor Park in the Fall of 2015. The St. Albans Rotary Club has generously taken the lead in raising the funds to pay for the restoration and have inspired other groups and individuals in the community to fundraise for this historic project.
