This history quest through Peacham Village continues this week, through Sunday July 12.

"Pandemics of Peacham's Past", is a scavenger hunt-style quest that can be completed on foot or by car. Each quest stop will explore the history of sites in Peacham Village, offering historical links to past outbreaks of diseases in the community.

The quest will be on view starting through July 12th, 2020. It begins at the Peacham Library (656 Bayley Hazen Road, Peacham, Vermont 05862) and includes 10 stops (each marked by an orange orienteering flag) throughout the greater Peacham Corner area. Questers may visit the sites at any time in any order, and are asked to follow proper social distancing guidelines. Maps and instructions will be available at the library and online. Once questers have visited all sites, they may submit their response to the Peacham Library to receive a small prize for their efforts.

The Peacham Library and the Peacham Historical Association were inspired by current events to share this very relevant history, in a safe and distanced way appropriate for the times. "Peacham villagers have experienced many diseases over the years, some epidemic, some chronic.

Continuing with this theme, the Peacham Library's annual meeting on Monday, July 13th at 7:00pm will include guest speaker Larry Coffin, curator of the Bradford Historical Society, who will share a presentation about Vermont's response to other epidemics throughout history. The meeting will take place via Zoom. Visit peachamlibrary.org for a link to join the meeting.
