Now that summer has come it's time to plan for the reopening of the museum of the Royalton Historical Society. We need volunteers to assist in uncovering the displays, dusting and vacuuming the Town House, Center One-room Schoolhouse and the former St. Paul's Episcopal Church. Please contact John Dumville (jpdumville@yahoo.com or 802- 763-8567) if you are available to help on the afternoons of June 19, 20 and 21 from 1:00-3:00 PM. It's light work and with help it will go quickly. It even gives you an opportunity to see our exhibits close-up and even think of ways to improve what we have to offer.
We have two engaging programs this summer during the Royalton Old Home Days. On Friday, August 4th, at 7:00 PM, George Woodard will be in town to show his recent film, "The Farm Boy", which he produced. Filmed in Vermont and set in 1944, as World War II was raging in Europe, the focus is on the life experience of a young man and his growth. The late David Ainsworth is briefly in the film which offers excitement and nostalgic memories of rural Vermont. And on Saturday, August 5th, at 2:00 PM, John Moody and Emily Boles will offer a program and lead a discussion on the protection and conservation of Abenaki sites on Dairy Hill and the White River valley.
