On Tuesday (July 8, 2025) we will be motorcade to Bennington Vt. the home of Hemming’s Motor News. Located in Bennington is the
Bennington Battle Monument is a 306-foot-high stone obelisk. The monument commemorates the Battle of Bennington during the
American Revolutionary War. Make sure you get to enter the base of the monument and ride the elevator up to the observation level where you can see three states; New York, Massachusetts, and of course Vermont. There is also a display of historic interest in the monument. We will then be stopping at the Bennington Museum. The museum is known for having the largest collection of Grandma Moses paintings. You will differently want to see the Martin-Wasp Touring Car included in the museum's collection. It is one of only about 16 made by Martin-Wasp
the only cars manufactured in Vermont. We will be having a picnic lunch on the lawn of either Hemming’s or the monument.
Wednesday (July 9, 2025) we will be taking a bus to Hyde Park to visit the Roosevelt and Vanderbilt Mansions. The Roosevelt Mansion was the home of the 32nd and longest-serving president of the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt. Explore the Roosevelt saga in the homes of Franklin and
Eleanor Roosevelt, the exhibits at the nation’s first Presidential Library, and over a thousand acres of gardens and trails.
Vanderbilt Mansion was built for one of the first families of wealth in America, by one of the nation's preeminent architects. The Vanderbilt Mansion is a home built expressly for the aristocratic lifestyle. The tour presents about eighteen rooms on three floors of the mansion. Occasionally, specific rooms or floors may be unavailable or unfurnished for preservation work. The Vanderbilt Mansion is not airconditioned
and can get quite warm in the summer months. The trip will include lunch at one of Hyde Park's famous restaurants.
On Thursday (July 10, 2025) we will be motorcade to HowesCave.You discover a subterranean riverbed carved over countless millennia called Howes Cavern. Deep in the cave, solid rock appears fluid: creating strange formations, flowing sheets, and dripping stalactites. Mysterious grottos lead off into distant, unexplored passages. Shadows hide secrets in deep cracks and crevices. The well-worn path twists and turns descending into the depths, downward to the glassy surface of an underground lake that trails off into the absolute darkness of the cave’s Eastern Terminus. The cave is 52°F so a jacket or sweatshirt is recommended. The cave tour consists of a 1.25-mile walk with a 0.25-mile boat ride. There are 139 stairs throughout the tour. The Iroquois Museum is dedicated to fostering an understanding of their Iroquois culture using Iroquois art. The museum is housed in a modern building designed to evoke the Great Iroquois Longhouses. Lunch will be on your own at the

I have no information, however, I will pass the question on to Dan Herrick to answer. If he gives me any updated information I will post it here. As far as I know, nothing more than what was announced at York PA and posted above.
