The Chittenden Historical Society has a wonderful opportunity to be a part of, well, history! You can be a part of this by sharing your pictures, facts and STORIES about the six buildings/structures that are owned by the Town of Chittenden. These include the Municipal Offices, the Transfer Station Complex, the Grange Hall, South Town Hall, the Chittenden Historical Society Building,and the Pavillion (the outdoor classroom near Barstow School). 

Were you a part of construction, development, community events, did you celebrate family events, do you know of historical events, do you know how they became town owned or know how they changed over time? Old and New Stories are needed. Your Stories can be written or you can dictate and they can be written for you. Do you have any maps or pictures that can be scanned? 

For example: The Douglas Family had what they call their Christmas Do at the Grange Hall. Douglas’s from all over Vermont and few from Massachusetts gathered for a potluck luncheon, recalled stories of Grampa and Nana, had a traditional Yankee Swap and a Pass the (joke) Present game. Once again, the family recalled how Bruce and his dad, Ed, fell asleep in adjoining armchairs, hands resting on the arms. It was startling to see the identical poses and similarities of their hands. There is pictorial evidence!

Be a part of this great historic event! Meet with Laurie Wilson at the Chittenden Historical Society Building on Wednesday, June 12, 2024 at 10:00AM. 

Stories and materials can be submitted at any time.

All will be compiled into a StoryMap presentation ready by Chittenden Day, Saturday, August 24,2024 to be held at the Barstow Memorial School.
