"Robert Blanchard had a travel-trailer assembly line in the early 1930s, believed to have been one of the first in the nation. It operated next to the old Skeeterville School at the left, which had been moved to a spot near the entrance of the present Meeting Place [retail shopping center] on Route 101."
