The Reading Historical Society is hosting their annual meeting, dinner and guest speaker.

Date: Saturday, February 15, 2020
Time: Starting at 4:30pm
Location: Reading Town Hall

Starting at 4:30 pm with a short business meeting. At 5:00 pm we will enjoy a pot luck "Roadkill" dinner. We won't actually serve roadkill, of course, but use your imagination about what you can bring. Please bring an entrée, salad or dessert to share with others. Can't make a dish, that's ok; please come join us.

Please RSVP to Calista Brennan to let her know if you will be attending by calling 802-484-0276 or e-mail at tomcalvt@yahoo.com.
At 6 pm, we will have a guest speaker, Deborah Lee Luskin, from the Vermont Humanities Speakers Bureau. she will present her program titled, "Getting from Here to There: A History of Roads and Settlement in Vermont". The difficulties of traveling in Vermont played a significant role in the state's settlement, development, culture and politics. But Vermonters weren't always eager to have good roads. Opposition began in 1753, when the Abenaki joined forces with the French to protest the building of a British military road along an established Abenaki trail. Resistance to new roads has continued ever since, from the Green Mountain Parkway to the building of the interstates.

We hope to see you there.
