The Vermont Historical Society will be holding public forums statewide to talk about the influence of the 1970s on Vermont. The society is seeking input to help guide their collections, documentation, and public programs about this transformative era.
“Did you live in Vermont in the 1970s? Did you move to Vermont in the 1970s?” asked Vermont Historical Society curator Jackie Calder in a press release. “If you would like to learn more about that important and influential decade, or if you have memories, stories, or information to share with VHS staff, please join us at a community forum near you.”
A forum will be held on Wednesday, April 22, from 6 to 8 p.m., at St. Michael's Episcopal Church, 16 Bradley Ave., Brattleboro.
These public forums are the first step in a much longer project to collect oral histories, objects, books, personal papers, and more that tell the full story of the period.
