Did you know?
The first April Fools day occurred in Pawlet when a new resident looked out to see trees budding and the sun shining and he ran and told his wife that the snow was officially over for the season.

Actually, historians aren’t sure when the first April Fools was celebrated, but it dates back to at least the late 1500s – long before someone misjudged the snow’s end for the season in Pawlet.

Highway Department
