For the Reading & Discussion meeting in September, we've decided to add a little more History into our library programming. Instead of choosing a book, we've chosen a presenter to speak about the historic Deerfield Massacre along with Franco-American genealogy in Vermont.

We will have the October Reading & Discussion book available to pick up at this presentation.

Mark your Calendar! Vermont’s only Witch Trial!- On September 16th the Widow Krieger is finally getting the recognition she deserves for going through such a horrible and false trial just because some thought she possessed “Extraordinary Powers”.
At 1PM there will be a “Witches Walk”crossing over the North Pownal Bridge from the west to the Dedication Spot at the Strobridge Park. If you would like to join the group of “Witches” parading across the Bridge, showing Widow Krieger we support her in spirit, dress in your best interpretation of a Witch and plan on meeting on the west side of the Dean Road Bridge by 12:45. Children must be accompanied by an adult.

Kudos to Enosburgh Historical Society.👍
thank you for your invitation....I was born in Maple Park Enosburg Falls Oct 1947 in Mrs Smith's house where my parents rented an apartment..we lived next door to my aunt Helen Coe and her family before we moved to St Albans when I was about 4...But my enduring memories are of the wood shavings smell from the bobbin mill..My aunt lived to almost 103 years..Every time I visit" home" I go to Maple Park..and was there 2017
Local history can sometimes be seen as layers through time. For the Enosburgh Historical Society, peeling back the layers involved the discovery of an 1830s-1840s log cabin that had been clapboarded over and slated for demolition before townsperson Dr. Lester Judd remembered it wasn’t what it seemed. “I observed a hole in the plaster that revealed logs and chinking,” he said in a written note in 1977. The exciting discovery prompted the owner, Abe Brown, to deed the property to the Village of Enosburgh Falls and now the Enosburgh Historical Society maintains it as a hands-on experience of life in the mid-19th century.

Hi All. I am looking for a 1922 EFHS Year Book to get some photos scanned out of... anyone have one on a shelf? Did they even have them back then??

My grandfather was the Valedictorian and I have his typed up speech. Hoping to add some pictures to it.
In 1968-69 or 1969-70, while I was teaching Home Economics at Enosburg High School, I organized a group of women who sewed band capes for the high school band. They were green cotton bark-cloth capes with a white "E" on the corner. They were worn with white pants and white shirt. Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the band wearing them. I am looking for a couple to use in a book I am writing. Does anyone have one they will share? Thanks, in advance.
Can anyone tell me the name of the movie theater in Enosburg, approximately when it closed, owner(s)? Thanks.
Drop by to see the Enosburg Historical Society's operating Lionel and HO scale train setups upstairs over the Enosburg town clerks office (239 Main St) Saturday, September 21, 2019 (11:00 to 3 pm. )
We just received our Newsletter that we always enjoy. This issue was very bitter sweet upon learning that the beautiful old church at the center was coming down. I had so hoped at least one more time next summer being able to take pictures inside and out because our ADAMS-wRIGHTS-NICHOLS family were some of the early pioneers on the forefront of building that church. We have in our records the family pews they paid for every year. The beautiful old lights are one of my favorite memories. Is there any chance we could schedule just more visit before tearing this structure down? Just tell us when and we will be there with our families!
It would be great if you had a snail mail address posted on this site. I have a few photos I want to send.
