In celebration of the Russian writer, Soviet dissident and Nobel Laureate Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s who moved to Cavendish 50 years ago, the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS), in conjunction with the Cavendish Fletcher Memorial Library, is pleased to announce the exhibit “Solzhenitsyn in Vermont.” This exhibit was developed by the Vermont Historical Society in honor of Solzhenitsyn’s 100th birthday in 2018 and is currently on loan to CHS and the Library.
The Solzhenitsyn in Vermont exhibit celebrates the life and work of Russian novelist and historian Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, particularly his time living in Cavendish, Vermont and its influence on his life and work. Telling the story through photographs, quotes, and family memories, the exhibit includes 5 main exhibit panels, along with 4 timeline panels noting important moments from Solzhenitsyn’s life.
The exhibit is now on display at the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library, 753 Main St., Proctorsville until Dec. 5. In addition to the VHS display are the autographed books Solzhenitsyn donated to the town upon his return to Russia.
The library is open to the public Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 9 am-6 pm. For more information, or to arrange other times, call 802-226-7807 or e-mail margocaulfield@icloud.com
