In the 21st century, Vermont has the reputation of being a pastoral paradise — a place where people come to get away from the hectic pace and tensions that appear to plague so many other parts of the country. While Vermont may appear bucolic and peaceful now, at one time it was a hotbed of dissent.

In this lecture, historian Philip Crossman will discuss the cultural, religious, political, and personal conflicts that were commonplace in Vermont's early years, and the lasting impact of this turmoil in Vermont and elsewhere.

This presentation is free and open to the public. Please let us know if you need any accommodation to attend. We will do what we can to help.
