On May 6, 2009, after standing proudly for more than 50 years on Gilman Island in the Connecticut River, Dartmouth College's Titcomb Cabin burned to the ground. Follow us this summer as we work to rebuild it.

Burn Baby Burn
Day 2.
Big day today. We started things off this morning with the whole crew peeling logs. Around lunchtime we got our burn permit, and sent Greg and Kodiak to the island armed with chainsaws to drop the dead trees and do some last minute brush piling before the evening burn. The rest of us came down in the evening, and we proceeded to burn off all the remaining debris from the cabin and nearby trees. Greg and I spent the first night on the island to keep an eye on the fire, armed with a high powered water pump just in case the fire should have a mind of its own.
