Join as at Bent Northrop Memorial Library for a chance to learn about our state's history! On Thursday, February 11th, at 6pm we will be showing of part two "Freedom and Unity: The Vermont Movie".

This second installment is titled "Under the Surface" and uncovers unions and quarry work, Barre's Socialist Labor Party Hall, Eugenics, George Aiken and the "Rural Republicans." It shows how Vermont begins to attract "back-to-the-landers" like Helen and Scott Nearing and Nicholas Jacobson, who came to Vermont in search of an alternative, rural lifestyle. This film is 83 minutes long.

Also, mark your calendars for March 10th when we will be showing the third installment of the series, "Refuge, Reinvention and Revolution".
