The Vermont State Archives & Records Administration presents "Blood Has Told: The Push for a Eugenical Solution in the Green Mountain State." Scholarship on Vermont’s eugenics movement has largely focused on the Eugenics Survey of Vermont of the 1920s, even though state officials proposed eugenical policies as early as 1912. In this presentation, Dartmouth College history student Mercedes de Guardiola will examine why eugenics emerged in Vermont and trace the impact of eugenical policies put into place over the course of the twentieth century. Doors open at 5:00pm for a behind-the-scenes tour of the archives & a special exhibit, directly followed by the presentation at 6:00pm - free and open to the public. Address: 1078 US-2, Middlesex, VT (behind the State Police)
