Finding Room in Vermont: Accommodating Tourism in an "Unspoiled" Landscape
Sunday, June 16, 3:00 pm
Tourism has long been a driving force in shaping the popular conception of rural Vermont. Orchardist and author Blake Harrison will discuss the early history of Vermont tourism, the abandonment of farms, the rise of summer homes, and the branding of an "unspoiled" Vermont.

Harrison holds a Ph.D. in geography from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is author of The View from Vermont: Tourism and the Making of an American Rural Landscape (2006).
