The Dorset Historical Society’s Third-Thursday Lunch-Lecture on March 21st will feature Kevin O’Toole talking about the Pinnacle.
Kevin was born in High Point, North Carolina, and his family moved to Dorset in 1972. Kevin attended what then was known as Burr & Burton Seminary for his junior and senior years. He received his B.A. degree from the University of Vermont in 1978 and his law degree in 1982 from the University of Notre Dame Law School. For the last 37 years, Kevin has maintained a solo general law practice with an office in Dorset Village. Kevin is a member of the Vermont and Bennington County Bar Associations.
Kevin’s contributions to the Town of Dorset include serving as Town Moderator for the last 28 years, serving as a member of the Zoning Board of Adjustment for the last 25 or so years, and as a member of the Dorset Conservation Commission since it was created well over 20 years ago. An avid golfer, Kevin has been a member of the Dorset Field Club since 1972, and still serves as its historian. Since 1987, Kevin has acted, directed, produced, stage-managed and helped construct sets for the Dorset Players and has also served as its President and on its Board of Directors.
In 2013, Kevin gave a lecture on Cecilia deNottbeck and the Pinnacle Forest in Dorset. This talk will revisit the topic as well as providing an update on the property, including a new way to access it on foot from the Dorset Green.
DHS’s TTLLs begin at noon and last about an hour. Attendees are invited to bring some lunch; desserts and drinks will be provided. The event is free, open to all and handicapped accessible. The Dorset Historical Society’s Bley House Museum is located on Route 30 at Kent Hill Road. For more information, see https://dorsetvthistory.org or call (802) 867-0331.
