About this postcard
An elevated view from Bean Hill in Brookfield, Vermont, looking across wooded slopes and farm clearings toward Randolph in the distance. A single farmhouse sits among trees in the foreground, with ridge lines fading toward the horizon. The printed caption spells the hill "Bean," though the spot has also been recorded as Bear Hill. Brookfield and Randolph lie among the hills of Orange County, a landscape of small dairy and sheep farms in the early 1900s. Local photographers often climbed to a high pasture or cleared ledge for views like this one, which sold to neighbors and to the summer visitors who came to rural Vermont.
