In the fall of 1967, Clifton Frederick Bushey married the love of his life, Diane Marie Gauthier. Both had deep ancestral ties to Swanton and the surrounding area, and it was only appropriate that in the coming years they build their dream home on the multigenerational sugarbush of Diane's grandparents. They raised their three sons in the home and by all accounts lived a fairytale life together. Clif, with a work ethic only someone raised on a farm would fully understand, worked his way up the ranks at General Dynamics and  eventually retired as a vice president. He was a master wood worker, scratch golfer, musician, and loved working the land. Diane graduated from Fanny Allen School of Nursing in 1967 and was a nurse until 1975. From 1980-1990 she ran a business called "A Touch of Country." She then decided to go back to school, and soon became a math teacher at BFA Fairfax. Music, skiing, gardening, and crafting were all things she loved.

Diane predeceased Clif in 2014 after a courageous battle with cancer. Clif was never quite the same after that, but his journey wasn't over and he spent the next ten years helping his sons, working in the woods, and playing his guitar and singing at local nursing homes. In late September of last fall he was finally reunited with Diane.

The home they built is gorgeous, and the contents represent both their lives. Country antiques, family mementos, good woodworking tools, as well as all the other things you can imagine after living in the same home for 50+ years. A fine sale with something for all. 

Directions: From Rte. 7 just over the St. Albans line in Swanton turn onto Sugar Tree Drive (Revival Antiques is on the corner). Proceed up the hill about 1 mile.
