This is a short brief, as the Summer Cavendish Historical Society newsletter will be out next week.
UPCOMING EVENTS: We were pleased to see so many people at the talk on July 21-"18th Century Healers in Rural Vermont.” Given the interest and a request for a series, we’re planning several talks in the fall, listed below, with Dr. Charis Boke of Dartmouth.
September 15 (Sunday): Annual Phineas Gage Walk and Talk, starts with the talk portion beginning at 2 pm at the CHS Museum
September 29 (Sunday): Plant Time: Herbs focusing on longevity (e.g. chaga) and the life cycle of medicinal plants. This will include a discussion of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s writing and use of plants like chaga and mandrake root (European variety).
October 13 (Sunday): Last Sunday the Museum is open for the 2024 season.
October 29 (Saturday): History of the Invasives: Knotweed (place and time to be announced)
November (Date to be announced): Proctorsville Ghost Walk
YOUNG HISTORIANS: August is the month where we start working with Cavendish Town Elementary School (CTES) to plan for the coming school year. Teachers can call (802-226-7807) or e-mail (margocaulfield@icloud.com) to set up times to discuss curriculum and what type of programming they would like to see in the coming year.
Enjoy this last month of summer!
