A story about how the home located at the northwest corner of the intersection of Marsett and Falls Road in Shelburne, Vermont was constructed by John McGee from lumber salvaged from "The Piggery" located on Shelburne Farms. The images and quotations in the publication were scanned from a McGee family photo album put together by Mereli McGee. Family information and clarifications was gathered from correspondence between Joseph McGee, John's son, and his siblings. Additional information was research by David Boucher. All of the correspondence and additional scanned images can be found in the 2025.7.1 McGee John and Mereli Home Construction Shelburne Historical Society Digital Archives.Context
From Joe McGee 15 July 2025: My younger siblings and I would frequent Little’s for candy and soda when we had money. We had grown up at McGee’s Corner so going to Little’s was natural. I used to buy gas for our lawn mower there. My older siblings frequented Galipeau’s, which was down closer to the falls at 975 Falls Road and was what they were used to, spending their younger years living in the falls at 1066 Falls Road. We didn’t have street numbers back then, so I may not have those numbers exactly right. The house they lived in is/was painted purple. (David Boucher 17 March 2025)Lexicon
