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.
