Earth Peoples Park (1970–1994) was a parcel of swamp and forested land located in the small French-Canadian border village of Norton, Essex County, Vermont (Pop. 200). ==People's Park in Berkeley California==
Purchase of the Norton parcel was inspired by the People's Park in Berkeley, California, with some donations for the down payment raised at the 1969 Woodstock Music & Art Festival (August 1969 Bethel NY). The Vermont parcel was purchased and managed as a non-profit trust (Earth Peoples Park Inc.), with the land deed officially recorded so as to convey the trusts' 'ownership' of the land (the only real asset of the trust), to 'all of the peoples of the earth'. The park property is now known as Black Turn Brook State Forest and is now owned by the state of Vermont. Due to land surveying errors going back to the settling of that region of the United States and Canada in the late 18th century, the 45th parallel (which was the boundary line set by treaty) actually passes through the acreage several hundred feet to the south of the present-day international boundary vista line, somewhere in the vicinity of the large hay field. For many years, Norton also had an international store, run by the Nelson family, which was located both in the US and in Canada, with a line painted down the middle of the store. One was permitted to shop both sides of the store, as long as you exited back into the country you entered from.
