Upcoming events from Vermont Humanities in January!

Jill Mudgett will be visiting Roger Clark Memorial Library in Pittsfield on January 20th at 12 noon. Jill is a cultural historian with an interest in the connection between the people and the environment of northern New England. She holds a Ph.D. in American history and is interested in public history outreach.

Her presentation will tell the story of an Indigenous man from southern New England who came to central Vermont during the late 19th century and was the victim of a murder. The story recreates community connections in a rural Vermont hill town.

It is a story about poverty, racism, disability, and gendered violence against women, but is also a story about the Indigenous movement and choice despite great obstacles.

Please save the date and let us know you will be attending either by email or a phone call.
