Picryl description: Public domain photograph of farming, farmer, agriculture, 20th-century, free to use, no copyright restrictions.

Birdhouses, including some that may be elaborately carved or painted, are a common sight in the gardens and woods of rural and suburban America. In South Hero, Vermont, an island town in Lake Champlain, separating Vermont and New York State, the houses are somewhat ordinary. They're remarkable because HUNDREDS of them hung from branches all through the woods along West Shore Road. Property owners who joined to create and mount them say they were placed as a mosquito deterrent: swallows that roost in some of them devour the insects

One of several small, stone, often hard-to-find castles scattered in out-of-the-way places in South Hero, Vermont, the southern half of Grand Isle, one of the Lake Champlain Islands chain in Lake Champlain, separating Vermont and New York State. They were created by a Swiss immigrant, Harry Barber who performed odd jobs around South Hero, in the mid-1900s, and modeled after castles he remembered from his homeland. Barber tried unsuccessfully to persuade a local museum to display some of his work but was turned him down. Devastated, he committed suicide in 1966 at the age of 66
