PhD Carrie Brown returns to Lamoille Valley Osher Lifelong Learning from 1:00-2:15 pm at Stowe Cinema 3Plex on Wednesday, October 16, to present "From Guns to Gramophones: Civil War Technology That Saved the Union." She explores the technological triumph that helped save the Union during the Civil War. While Brown's illustrated talk tells a broad, national story, it focuses on the critical and somewhat surprising role of Vermont and New Hampshire in producing industrial technology that won the war and changed American life up to today.

Carrie Brown holds a PhD in American Literature and Folklore from the University of Virginia. Working for more than 30 years as a freelance history curator, she developed exhibitions for museums, visitors' centers, and historic sites. As a speaker, Brown delights in finding and telling stories about the connections between historic events and our everyday lives.
