SUMMARY:Museum ABCs: Toys of Long Ago
DESCRIPTION:Bring in a favorite toy and we’ll talk about what it is made of. Then we’ll travel back in time to see what kinds of toys children played with long ago. Were they made of the same materials? Did they need charging? Were they fun to play with? Come find out! \nMuseum ABCs is a collaboration between Bennington Museum and the Bennington Free Library\, designed for children ages 3 to 5 and their adult companions. Siblings are welcome! Museum ABCs is FREE thanks to funding from The Bank of Bennington. Join us on the second Saturday of each month\, April through November\, for artwork\, stories\, and more! \npresented in partnership with the Bennington Free Library \nsponsored by \nadditional support from

SUMMARY:Research Your Veteran
DESCRIPTION:Drop into the Regional History Room any time between 1:00 and 4:00 PM to meet RHR and Historical Society volunteers who will help you find your veteran’s history. We will show you how to uncover the story of your family veteran using internet sources\, books\, and local hard copy resources. Find out the details of their service – where they entered the service\, their unit\, where they went\, and what they did upon return. From the Revolutionary War to present conflicts\, their stories can be traced. Bring documents\, photos\, or other information you have about your veteran\, and we will help fill in the blanks. \nEntry to the Regional History Room is included with regular Museum admission and always free to Museum members.

SUMMARY:Bridges of Bennington County
DESCRIPTION:a Bennington Historical Society presentation \nVermont is home to the third highest number of covered bridges in the United States\, after Pennsylvania and Ohio. If you look at the number per square mile\, Vermont ranks number one. There are five of them right here in Bennington County – three in Bennington alone! These bridges are part of Vermont’s identity\, captured in paintings\, the subject of ghost stories\, and part of many of our daily commutes. In this presentation\, local researchers will share what they know about our county’s beautiful and historic covered bridges. \nAvis Hayden lives in Sunderland\, on property that adjoins the Chiselville Covered Bridge. She has a curiosity about local history\, spurred on by her genealogical research involving Vermont residents. She holds a Certificate from Boston University in Genealogy. She volunteers at Bennington Museum’s Regional History Room and assists with projects at the Russell Collection (Arlington/Sunderland/Sandgate).   \nDavid Pilachowski has lived in Bennington for 25 years\, worked in college and university libraries\, and has long been interested in history. He volunteers in Bennington Museum’s Regional History Room (RHR) and is a Museum Trustee. He was one of several people involved for the past several years in reorganizing and cataloging the RHR collection. Through that work\, he became aware of Professor Louis Puffer’s remarkable collection of covered bridge materials and associated resources donated to the RHR. \nsupported by

The first sentence of the second paragraph from that declaration has become one of the most memorable and quoted lines in the English language: “We hold these truths to be self-evident\, that all men are created equal\, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights\, that among these are Life\, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” The last of the “unalienable Rights” listed ⎼”the pursuit of Happiness”⎼ has always seemed unusual and slightly out of place in this context\, though certainly not unwanted. What does the right to “the pursuit of Happiness” even mean then\, and now? As we continue to strive and struggle to attain the ideals outlined for our country 250 years ago\, approximately two dozen regional artists have created artwork in an attempt to answer that question. \nSponsored by:
