Join the Rutland Historical Society in Tuttle Hall at College of St. Joseph campus on October 18th for our brief Annual Business Meeting at 7PM, followed by a presentation at 7:30 by Jason Smiley about the famous Eddy Brothers of Chittenden, VT, called "The Devil's Cabinet: The Famous Eddy Family of Spirit Mediums."

"Come learn about the famous Eddy family of Chittenden, Vermont (Rutland County). During the mid to late 1800's they became world-renowned as spirit mediums with the alleged ability of generating full-bodied spirit manifestations or "materializations" of the departed. People traveled from all over the world to Chittenden to witness these phenomena for themselves. Some came with the hope of seeing and speaking to their own departed family members. Others came as skeptics, hoping to debunk the family's alleged powers as "humbug". By 1874, the family was so well-known that Chittenden started being referred to as "Spirit Vale". To this day, there are many who believe that the family had genuine supernatural abilities."

Light refreshments will be served. The pubic is invited for this free event!
