To say we’re busy is putting it mildly. We’re doing a deep dive into the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) archives, while at the same time preparing for the holidays and planning winter programs. If you have an interest in helping with archival work, or would like to volunteer in another capacity, please contact us by calling 802-226-7807 or e-mail margocaulfield@icloud.com Whatever your interest, there are lots of projects you can help with.
UPCOMING EVENTS: The following CHS programs are free and open to the public. Donations appreciated. We are fortunate to be working with the Cavendish Library who has been providing support and the use of their space.
November 10 (Sunday): Proctorsville Ghost Walk. Meet at 2 pm in front of the Proctorsville War Memorial.
December 14 (Saturday): Holiday Fiesta at the Cavendish Library, 573 Main St. Proctorsville.
February: In honor of Black History: The story of Cavendish’s Peter Tumbo and the history of African trade beads. Workshop on making paper African trade beads follows the talk.
February 15 (Saturday): Chocolate and Valentines; The history of chocolate with Maren Muter. Maren is a Cavendish resident and chocolatier, who has dazzled our taste buds at various events with her hot chocolate and the most delicious treats. She is the owner of That Chocolate.
In January, we will be announcing our programs for the spring and early summer. We know that many have enjoyed the herb and plant medicinal series with Dr. Charis Boke and we already have some ideas for 2025.
