Vermont historian and author Howard Coffin will be presenting a program about the year 1816, often referred to humorously as "Eighteen Hundred and Froze to Death." This was the year of no summer when cold temperatures disrupted the growing season and hampered many other activities throughout the months following the onset of the this fluke of unseasonable weather. The program is sponsored by the Chittenden Historical Society and will be at the North Chittenden grange hall located on 3 Lower Middle Road. The date is October 9th at 7:00 PM. Admission is free.
