  • Winter History & Tourism Discussion Series Continues at Matterhorn Inn,
    Thurs., January 19th at 7 p.m.

    January 9, 2012

    The Living History Association is holding a once a month mid-week evening discussion and lecture series about early Vermont and New England history. The program this month is geared to those with an interest in interactions between Native Tribes and early settlers touching on living conditions, farming, disease, settlement patterns, and the pressures which led to conflict. The evening discussion will follow a lecture format presented by James Dassatti who is knowledgeable about sites and resources associated with that history.

    While each monthly program will be of great interest to those who wish to know more about Vermont, they will also be of interest to those who host bus tours and visitors each year. The stories will help fill in those areas of knowledge you wish you had, so that you can better inform your visitors or lodging guests about our history here in New England.

    A variety of books and/or resources will be mentioned with each discussion event. Attendees should bring a note pad to copy down any information offered. Some handouts will be given away free at each meeting.

    The program began in November with the “light faire” of living history interpretation of the 18th century for which Dassatti is well noted. The program featured artifacts and reproductions, as well as interpretation in period attire to turn the clock back to a very different century. This was not a normal lecture but rather an immersive history event.

    The program will be at 7:00 pm on January 19th with cheese and light snacks served from the bar at the Matterhorn Inn. The full slate of remaining programs will be:

    • February 16, 2012
    • March 15, 2012
    • April 19, 2012


    For additional information, please contact either the LHA at 802-268-7913, or the Matterhorn Inn at 802-464-4676.
