HR 18 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House resolution supporting the preservation of the Julian Scott birthplace in Johnson

This bill expresses support for the Town of Johnson's efforts to save the birthplace of Civil War Medal of Honor recipient Julian Scott from demolition. It urges the Governor to direct state historic preservation officials to collaborate with the town and publicly endorse the preservation initiative. The resolution addresses a situation where the home, which lacks significant architectural features or museum displays, was initially slated for removal under a federal disaster buyout program. By highlighting the historical connection between the property and Scott, the bill aims to ensure the site is preserved despite previous concerns about its structural integrity and original character.
