OF HISTORIC INTEREST One of the most often repeated stories in town is about how Hyde Park village came to be known as “Hide Center”: Carroll S. Page,Vermont’s one-time governor (1890-92) and US Senator (1909-23), was one of the largest dealers in hides and skins in the world. During his greatest period of activity, Hyde Park became one of the major tanning centers in the country. Page himself was nick-named “Calf Skin Page,” and in turn he called his village Hide Center. Child’s 1883 Gazetteer carried a full-page advertisement that said, among other things, “Active farmer’s boys can occupy the spring months in picking up dairy skins.” A good many boys paid for their clothes and schooling with the money Page paid to “such as can give a satisfactory guaranty that funds furnished will not be misappropriated.” Material excerpted or adapted from Esther Munroe Swift’s~Vermont Place-Names: Footprints of History |
