The Chiolino homestead

"I believe my grandparents, Battista and Maria Chiolino, moved to Ludlow from Montreal about 1916 or earlier. 

​There is a record of his WW1 draft card signed September, 1918 in Vermont. They had 6 children, a good reason for the addition! As you can see, there is no addition above the dining room. They had 6 children, a good reason for the addition! 

As you can see, there is no addition above the dining room. Once a year, the Italian's in town met the train on
​High Street and collected grapes for their wine-making. My family used the barn for their operation. My dad, 
​Frank, said you could tell (who) the Italian's (were) in school, (because) their arms were grape-stained!

I have many memories of my own; enjoying great family times in this house! Look- the clothes-line is faintly 
visible in the photo! It was always there, I remember using it!
     
To the left side of the barn was a little sheltered veranda and out back was the family garden and later a well 
​used horse-shoe pit!"
