We had a lot of fun at the weekly Farmers Market in Proctorsville-special thanks to Amy Davis who was there every single Friday-but now it’s time for, the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) to turn its attention to our fall programs, see events section below, and the Young Historians program at Cavendish Town Elementary School (CTES). We’re planning lots of trips and activities.
The “Taste of History” we ran at the Farmers Market was a big hit and many have asked for recipes, which are now available on-line at the CHS blog. We will be continuing to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War, along with the Declaration of Independence 250th throughout 2026. We welcome all ideas and suggestions. If there some aspect of Cavendish history you'd like to know more about, just e-mail or call.
