SUMMARY:1800 and Froze to Death: The Cold Year of 1816
DESCRIPTION:1800 and Froze to Death: The Cold Year of 1816\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\n\n1816 has long been known as the year without summer. Vermonters still call it “1800 and Froze to Death\,” a year of frosts every month\, dark skies\, and mysterious lights that caused a widespread belief that a higher power was displeased. \nThis talk includes scores of anecdotes about the dark year of failed crops\, scarce food\, and religious revival. The horrible weather also came in the aftermath of the War of 1812\, which produced shortages and an economic crisis. \nVermonters coped with the cold year with neighbor helping neighbor. But some greedy merchants sought to exploit shortages by charging higher and higher prices. \nThe cold year seems to have hit Vermont harder than any other state. But the effects of the disaster were very much worldwide. In Europe\, visitors to the continent mistook bands of beggars along the roadways for invading armies. And out of it came literary accomplishments\, including a grand poem by Lord Byron and a dark novel by Mary Shelley. \nAbout the Presenter \n\nA seventh-generation Vermonter\, Howard Coffin is the author of four books on the Civil War: Something Abides: Discovering the Civil War in Today’s Vermont; Full Duty: Vermonters in the Civil War; Nine Months to Gettysburg; and The Battered Stars\, as well as Guns Over the Champlain Valley\, a book on military sites along the Champlain Corridor. \n\nBennington Museum requires the use of a face mask that covers both the mouth and the nose at all times while inside the building. Thank you for helping to keep all of our visitors and staff healthy. \n1800 and Froze to Death: The Cold Year of 1816 is a Vermont Humanities Council program hosted by the Bennington Historical Society of Bennington Museum. (Supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or VHC.) \nThe Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum.

SUMMARY:The Capture of Remember Baker
DESCRIPTION:The Capture of Remember Baker\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\n\n250 years ago\, in March of 1772\, tensions between Yorkers and the Green Mountain Boys escalated. In the middle of the night\, Yorkers broke into Remember Baker’s home\, attacked him and his wife Desire\, capturing Remember Baker. \nThis discussion will include the back story of this remarkable patriot and his role in the establishment of the Republic. He lost his thumb in 1772\, but he lost his head in 1775. The Baker incident is the next event being recognized in the lead up to the 250th anniversary of the founding of the independent Republic of Vermont in 1777.

SUMMARY:Snowflake Bentley
DESCRIPTION:Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\n\nWilson Bentley was born on February 9\, 1865 in the town of Jericho\, Vermont\, A farmer by trade\, he attracted world attention with his pioneering work in the area of photomicrography. Most notable in his life long work with rain\, dew and frost\, was his extensive work with snowflakes. On January 15\, 1885 he became the first person to photograph a single snow crystal. He would go on to photograph well over 5000 snow crystals (never finding two the same)\, and his documentation of this work advanced the study of meteorology in his time. \nIn this program\, Bentley great-grandniece\, Sue Richardson\, will talk about the extraordinary gift that “Willie” gave us through the beauty of his photographs\, but also the struggles he faced in perfecting his process. Sue will help us get to know him on a more personal level through photographs\, family stories and his writings. \nAbout the Presenter \nSue Richardson is the great-grandniece of Wilson “Snowflake” Bentley and grew up on her grandparents’ farm in Jericho\, about 3 miles from the farm where Wilson was born and lived out his life. She is a 9th generation Vermont and the 7th generation of her family to live in Jericho. Sue’s grandmother\, Amy (Bentley) Hunt was the favorite of Willie’s 8 nieces and nephews and spent a great deal of time with him while growing up on the family farm. \nThough Vermont was always home\, Sue spent 5 years living in Tucson\, Arizona followed by 21 years in Williamsburg\, Virginia prior to returning to her “beloved Green Mountain State” in 2011. \nFor the past 5 ½ years\, Sue has served on the Board of Directors of the Jericho Historical Society\, whose dedication to preserving the work of Snowflake Bentley has ensured that his legacy continues to live on. \n\nBennington Museum requires the use of a face mask that covers both the mouth and the nose at all times while inside the building.

SUMMARY:Love\, Marriage\, and Divorce
DESCRIPTION:Love\, Marriage\, and Divorce\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\n\nThe highs and lows of love and heartache\, from Victorian wedding gowns to scandalous tales of sexual harassment. \nMarriage isn’t what it used to be\, but what did it really used to be? In Colonial America\, marriage was largely a matter of property and reproduction. Romantic love as we know it today was not considered necessary to wedded bliss until the Victorian era. Some same-sex couples quietly cohabited in the Green Mountains in plain sight during the nineteenth century\, although their relationships were not recognized as “marriage” until a century later. Domestic abuse\, sexual harassment\, and scandal have been tabloid fodder since the earliest days of Vermont’s statehood. Despite changing social customs\, we may find that human nature has changed very little over the years\, although the nature of marriage continues to shift. A phonograph concert inspired by the exhibit will follow the presentation. \nAbout the Presenter\nCallie Raspuzzi has been the Collections Manager at the Bennington Museum for 16 years. She attended Colgate University and has a Master’s degree in Museum Studies from the George Washington University. \n\nThis program will take place in person. A recording will be available for later viewing. \nBennington Museum requires the use of a face mask that covers both the mouth and the nose at all times while inside the building. Thank you for helping to keep all of our visitors and staff healthy. \nThe Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum. The BHS offers its programs at no charge.

SUMMARY:Ethan Allen: Folk Hero and His Contemporary Frontiersmen
DESCRIPTION:Ethan Allen: Folk Hero and His Contemporary Frontiersmen\nA Bennington Historical Society Presentation\n\nEthan Allen was many things to many people. This presentation will focus on his role as a folk hero. Allen’s initial contact with Vermont was as a frontiersman\, exploring the land in the late 1760s. As a hunter and trapper\, he lived in the wilderness\, beyond the bounds of the early settlements. The knowledge of the land and settlers he met along the way paved the way for later land speculation\, settlements\, and governance. The Ethan Allen we know today reflects a larger-than-life image\, based in part on truth\, legend\, and hyperbole\, i.e.\, the “folk hero” of the 14th State. \nDon Miller will compare the folk heroes from the 15th\, 16th\, and 17th states\, from Daniel Boone to Davy Crocket. What do the contemporaries have in common? How are the different? What role does the folk hero play in our story? \nDon Miller is an active student of history\, past President of the Bennington Historical Society\, and currently a Board member of the Vermont Historical Society. \n\nThis program will take place in person. A recording will be available for later viewing. \nBennington Museum requires the use of a face mask that covers both the mouth and the nose at all times while inside the building. Thank you for helping to keep all of our visitors and staff healthy. \nThe Bennington Historical Society is a volunteer-run program of Bennington Museum. The BHS offers its programs at no charge.

The Society is a volunteer-operated program of Bennington Museum and serves to support the Museum’s mission by fostering a greater understanding of our common heritage. \nBHS members conduct oral history interviews—like the one with a descendant of Gold Rush argonaut Edwin Robinson\, who recounted how his great-great-uncle’s feverish diaries captured the raw edge of California sports betting on San Francisco’s dusty racetracks\, where a single wager could turn prospectors into kings or beggars overnight—and collect and transcribe letters\, diaries\, and other documents that provide insights into life in and around Bennington.
