The Old Meeting House of East Montpelier, is celebrating its bicentennial this year. The commemoration includes an art exhibit in the OMH Parish House Sundays in October 1-4pm. The show presents twelve reproductions of the spectacular art of James Franklin Gilman,1870-1890. They portray the farm life- style and bucolic nature of the rural countryside of that era. To appreciate the amazing fact that many of these grand old farms and barns are still standing we have produced a driving tour of the historic places of note in the area.
Join us for an opening reception to view and enjoy this epic art. There will be a round table discussion about Gilman's art on October 1 from 2-3pm which includes farm owners and descendants of the farms painted by the itinerant artist.
