SUMMARY:Bennington Historical Society
DESCRIPTION:The Story of Bennington County’s One-Room Schools.\nPresented by Beverly Petrelis.\nAda Paresky Education Center of the Bennington Museum.\nFree and Open to the Public. \n  \nOne-room schools were commonplace throughout Bennington County until the 1960s when the growing number of baby-boomers made them inefficient.  All students met in a single room where one teacher taught reading\, writing\, and arithmetic to several grades of children at the same time.  Many of these schools were heated with potbellied stoves during the winter and had no indoor plumbing.  While none of the original twenty-nine schoolhouses are in operation today\, many of them still exist throughout the area\, often repurposed as homes. \nJoin retired Bennington school teacher and Bennington Historical Society board member\, Beverly Petrelis\, as she tells the stories of some of these schools and the students who attended them.  She will focus especially on the years between 1930 and 1960 and through a series of photographs and personal anecdotes bring this bygone era to life once again.  All Bennington Historical Society Meetings are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Community Day\, Celebrating Art and History
DESCRIPTION:Community Day\, Celebrating Art and History –  The Bennington Museum invites everyone to celebrate Community Day on February 4 to explore the permanent\, as well as the changing exhibitions.  Admission is FREE for everyone.  Opening the year one of the main floor galleries is Holding the Line: Ceramic Sculpture by Stanley Rosen.   During the last 40-plus years Rosen has focused on his role as teacher (Bennington College 1960-1991) and maker of a unique\, evocative body of abstract ceramic sculptures rarely exhibiting or publishing his work. As a result\, his important body of abstract ceramic sculptures\, almost all of them untitled\, have been seen by few and his name has largely faded from the history books. This exhibition and accompanying catalog shines a much deserved light on an important body of work created between the late 1950s up to the last few years and seeks to reestablish Rosen as one of the leading lights of American ceramic art during the last six decades.\nBuy Local: Photographs from Weichert-Isselhardt Collection of glass plate negatives opens the 2017 Regional Artist gallery.  Bennington was changing rapidly at the turn of the 19th century and local photographers captured the people and landscape using negatives on thin plates of glass.  The Bennington Museum has recently acquired nearly 2\,000 glass plate negatives from this era that were held in the Weichert-Isselhardt Collection.  Many of the negatives in this collection were taken by Madison Watson (active in Bennington 1888-1899) and Wills T. White (active in Bennington 1899-1940).  The images on view celebrate shops and commerce found in Bennington during this period.\nOn view through March 19 is the Annual Student Art Show bringing artwork of the region’s elementary\, middle and high school students to the museum in a display ranging from whimsical projects by the young students to more advanced work of older students. Arranged by theme\, visitors can explore the artistic development of children in various mediums.

SUMMARY:Lynne Bassett: "Herstory" in Civil War Quilts
DESCRIPTION:September 24\, 3 p.m.  – Lynne Bassett: “Herstory” in Civil War Quilts\nLooking at the Civil War through textiles allows us to understand the experience of the war in different terms than the usual analysis of battle strategy and heralding of military heroes.  Quilts in particular\, with their implicit and explicit messages\, offer the opportunity to examine the experiences of civilians—especially women―on the homefront.  This lecture by Quilt Historian Lynne Bassett focuses on the quilts that women created to declare their patriotism and support their fighting menfolk.  Included is a discussion on the 1863 Jane Stickle Quilt.  $5 for members\, $7 for not-yet-members.  Does not include general admission to the galleries. \n
