The Marlboro Historical Society welcomes all comers to our Annual Meeting on Thursday July 14th at 7 pm in the Town House in Marlboro Center. We will have a short meeting followed by a talk given by Deborah Lee Luskin entitled 1964: A Watershed Year in Vermont’s Political (and Cultural) History. Refreshments will be served. The Town House is fully accessible.

"In 1964, the Republican Party lost its tight-fisted grasp on Vermont politics, starting the swing of the political pendulum from Vermont as bastion of conservative republicanism to a state with a highly diversified political climate featuring progressive and even radical politics. Novelist Deborah Lee Luskin, whose extensive research into the politics of mid-century Vermont was undertaken in the writing of Into the Wilderness, a love story that takes place against the two major political events of that year, shows how the shift is more complex and more nuanced than mere politics."

This event is also supported in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the Vermont Humanities Council (VHC). Any views, findings, conclusions, or recommendations expressed in this program do not necessarily represent those of the NEH or the VHC. Contact: Forrest Holzapfel, forrest810@gmail.com, 258-2568
