Singer and researcher Linda Radtke, joined by pianist Arthur Zorn, brings Vermont history to life at the York Street Meeting House in Lyndon, with engaging commentary about the songs found in the Vermont Historical Society's collection of sheet music. Dressed in period costume and using the music Vermonters published and sang in their communities, Ms. Radtke guides listeners through our state's history, from the earliest published song, "Green Mountain Farmer" (1798), through 1850 temperance ballads and Civil War era songs, to songs about Vermonters Calvin Coolidge, Thomas Dewey, and Jim Fisk.

The program is free, sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council, and is co-hosted by Upright Steeple Society and the Lyndon Historical Society.
