BRATTLEBORO — These articles were written with materials in the collection of the Brattleboro Historical Society, in room 301 of the Brattleboro Municipal Center. All of the society's collection is open to the public. Extensive picture files and articles from the past are carefully organized to make them user friendly for the public, and members are on hand to help you research your topic and to answer your questions.
The society is open on Thursday afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m., and again on Saturday mornings from 10 a.m. to noon.
The society also supports the work of the Brattleboro Community Brain Trust, a project of iBrattleboro.com that makes local history and public documents available with the help of user participation and submissions.
