The 52nd Annual Meeting of the Middletown Springs Historical Society will convene at 2:00 pm on Sunday, September 12, at the Historical Society Building.
Following a dessert buffet there will be a brief Business Meeting, including a review of the year's accomplishments and plans for the future. On the agenda is the election of new Trustees for the 2021-2023 term.
Guest speaker, historian Phil Crossman, will give a slide presentation on "Political, Religious, and Social Conflict in Early Vermont"
Present-day Vermont has a reputation for offering a peaceful break from the hectic stress of discord elsewhere. However, Vermont's early history doesn't align with this perception.
In this lecture, Philip Crossman looks at the turmoil in early Vermont and examines how political, cultural, religious, and personal contentions were imported from the older colonies, modified in Vermont, and then exported elsewhere.
Philip Crossman has spent most of his career teaching the humanities to high school and college students. His interest in Middle Eastern history was sparked by several years he spent working in Jerusalem. Upon his return to Vermont, he completed a master's degree in Islamic-Western Relations at Norwich and went on to pursue a Master's in Education in educational technology at the University of Toronto. He is currently an administrator at Community College of Vermont (CCV) and teaches part-time at CCV and Norwich University.
