Who Lived Here and Why?
The Dorset Historical Society’s Third-Thursday Lunch-Lecture on September 19th will feature Michele Pagan talking about: East Dorset Village Historic District: Who Lived Here and Why.
Just this past month, the Vermont State Division of Historic Preservation designated East Dorset Village as one of its historic districts. Come hear the social details of who chose East Dorset as their home, and why. Why did the wealthiest man in all of Dorset choose to live in East Dorset? Which hotel was more valuable in 1870: The Wilson House, or the Dorset Inn? Learn these answers and many more at this new presentation about historic East Dorset Village, and the people who called it home.”
