Admission is free, and refreshments will be served​​
In celebration of the birthday of Jericho’s own Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley, born February 9, 1865, the Jericho Historical Society, in cooperation with the Deborah Rawson Memorial Library, will host a presentation by Sue Richardson, Bentley’s Great-grandniece and Bentley family historian.  Her presentation will focus not only on the extraordinary gift that Bentley gave us through the beauty of his photographs, but also the struggles he faced in perfecting his process, and in gaining acceptance from the scientific community, as well as his family and friends.  Guests will have the opportunity to get to know him on a more personal level through photographs, family stories and his writings.

Vermont’s Grand Ghosts & Weird Wonders​
   a talk by Joseph A. Citro

Saturday, October 28, 1:30 PM
​Jericho Community Center
329 Browns Trace
Jericho, VT 05465
Vermont is more than dairy farms, maple syrup, green trees, and white church steeples. It’s also ghosts, vampires, and all manner of menacing things that go bump in the night. For over thirty years Joseph Citro has been collecting and chronicling Vermont’s “alternate history” -- our tales from the Dark Side.  For this event he’ll share a few of his favorites: some you may already know; some may surprise you. And a couple might be too close for comfort!
Join us for a pre-Hallowe’en sampler of delightful local oddities.
Please bring a spooky tale to tell or an unsettling experience to share
A Q&A session will follow the presentation and a selection of Joseph Citro’s books will be available for purchase.

Joseph Citro is the first author in the history of our state to systematically collect and publish the legends, lore, and strange-but-true tales of his native Vermont. His stated mission is to keep these stories alive so they can be passed along to future generations. To this end, he has authored 20 books, provided 22 years of commentary on public radio, lectured widely, and made frequent appearances on local and national radio and television. His entertaining lectures and readings are sought after by groups wanting something historically valid, but decidedly out of the ordinary

“The Champlain Sea and Indigenous Settlement of Vermont”
   A presentation by Professor John Crock, University of Vermont​
Thursday, June 22, 7 – 8 PM
Deborah Rawson Memorial Library 8 River Rd
Jericho, VT 05465
In 1849 railroad construction workers in Charlotte were amazed to unearth a complete skeleton of a whale. The science of geology and the Earth's history was in its infancy at the time, and the indisputable evidence of a sea-going mammal hundreds of miles from the Atlantic coast confirmed that many geological changes had taken place. Although sometimes referred to tongue-in-cheek as the "West Coast of New England" it really was salt water at one time. Please join Prof. John Crock for “The Champlain Sea and Indigenous Settlement of Vermont” to explore this fascinating subject.
Dr. John G. Crock is Director of the University of Vermont Consulting Archeology Program. He is an archaeologist with expertise in the archaeology of eastern North America; archaeology of the Circum-Caribbean; and heritage management.
Sponsored by the Jericho Historical Society with the cooperation of the Deborah Rawson Memorial Library
