WELCOME
The purpose of the Worcester, Vermont Historical Society is to conserve the unique story of Worcester's past through education, preservation, restoration, and interpretation for the benefit of our posterity. The Society's resources, collections, and archives will be used to communicate the historical and cultural legacy of Worcester, to maintain and foster our community heritage.
UPCOMING EVENT:
Mark it on your calendar today: Friday evening, September 22, 6:30 PM, Worcester Town Hall. The Worcester Historical Society will hold its annual meeting followed by the premier of "Glimpses of a Simpler Time," a locally written and produced, lighthearted look at Worcester's history. Nine of your neighbors will portray historical figures from the early 19th century: Nancy and Michael Gore, Paul and Brent White, Julia Hewitt, Dave deRosa, Norma Lang, Michelle Hill and David Book. You won't forget the fictional town gossip. A brief business meeting will precede the performance.
The Cow That Tried to Swallow a Potato - that’s the history of Worcester, Vermont. Life happened, and often it was quirky and interesting. No big battles, no national movements, no spectacular event - just the everyday lives of hard-working Vermonters trying to get by, and from time to time, producing some noteworthy and unconventional history. "The Cow that Tried to Swallow a Potato: A Quirky History of Worcester, Vermont" may be ordered by sending a check for twenty-five dollars to the Worcester Historical Society, P.O. Box 329, Worcester, Vermont 05682. Great Christmas gifts and a genealogist' goldmine, these 360 pages of memories, pictures and historical information is not like any other local history you have ever read. |
