Chittenden County Historical Society Book Launch Event
The Chittenden County Historical Society is pleased to announce the next in our series of publications on local history and persons, a book about one of our community’s most beloved and admired members, Lilian Baker Carlisle. “Lilian Baker Carlisle: Vermont Historian, Burlington Treasure, A ‘Scrapbook Memoir’ “ will be introduced at a Book Launch at 3 pm on June 25, 2017 in the Pizzagalli Center for Art and Education at the Shelburne Museum where Lilian worked as Mrs. Electra Webb’s assistant during its founding days. Lilian was one of the Society’s most enthusiastic and knowledgeable founders. She was a historian, collector, writer, legislator and silver expert who was active in many local organizations. Her life is a reflection of Burlington and wider Vermont history since the 1940's when she and her family moved here. The book has been researched, written and designed by Joanna Tebbs Young, with photography by Timothy Clemens, under the direction of the CCHS Publications Committee. Books will be available for purchase for $25.
