Waterbury Historical Society invites all community members to its annual business meeting and fall program on Saturday, October 19 at 2:00 p.m. in the Steele Community Room at the Municipal Complex.

The program, "From river community to recreation gem - A history of Ricker Mountain, Little River, and the Waterbury Reservoir," detailing the evolution of Ricker Mountain and the Little River Basin from its early settlement to today. The program is accompanied by a temporary exhibit in the Steele Community Room that tells the story of the Little River area in a photographic timeline.

Both the program and exhibit celebrate Waterbury's importance in state recreation. WHS was inspired to tell this story to mark the 100th anniversary of Vermont State Parks. Although Little River State Park and Waterbury Center State Park themselves were not established until nearly 50 years into the park system's operations, they have long been among the most popular in the state.

All programs are free and open to the public. Friends and supporters of the society who have donated $10 or more this calendar year are invited to cast their votes on various items of business at the meeting. The program will immediately follow.
