Yes the new doors for the
Museum are finally being hung! Things always seem to take longer than we plan
on and as a result, the Museum has been closed for the last two weeks. We hope
the doors will be working so we can hold our last program of the season at the
Museum on Oct. 7- 1st Peoples of the Americas and Vermont. In the
event that construction is still underway, we will post notices at the
Cavendish VT Facebook page and CHS blog.
Special thanks to Bob Naess and Dave Stern for their ongoing efforts on this project.
WHAT WE’RE DOING
Thank
you to our incredible volunteers Doris Eddy, Bruce McEnneny, Peggy Svec, and
Pang Ting. None of this would be possible without the contributions from Stein
van Schaik and the McEnneny’s Blueberry Fund.
Solzhenitsyn:. While Margo Caulfied spoke at the Reading
Solzhenitsyn: An International Conference at Northern Vermont University on
Sept. 7, it was exciting to host so many conference speakers the following day
in Cavendish.
Upcoming activities include:

• The
Solzhenitsyn exhibit continues at the Vermont Historical Society Museum in
Montpelier until October 20.
• November
15: Vermont Historical Society at the University Heights South, Room 133. Presentation by Margo Caulfield “I Wrote and
Waited": Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Life in Cavendish, VT
• Margo will
also be doing a presentation for the Oshler Center for Life Long Learning at
Dartmouth. Date to be announced.
SAVE THE DATE
Oct. 7 (Sunday): 1st Peoples of Cavendish Talk
will focus on the earliest occupants of the land, dating back 11,000 years ago.
It will include a discussion of how North America became occupied and evidence
of first occupation in Cavendish. The talk begins at 2 pm.

• Baby
Boomers: Recently CHS acquired a fan from the 1950s and it has sparked a
conversation that we have far more examples of life in 1800s Cavendish then we
do from more recent times. If you have items you would like to donate, CHS is working
on a “Life in Cavendish-Baby Boomer Style.”
• CHS is looking for new board members as well as
volunteers who can help with various activities.
