Explore the historic institutions of Addison County with a traveling winter book club! Between January and April we will discuss a book relevant to each historical institution we visit. Dive into American history with a book selected by Lake Champlain Maritime Museum, cozy up to a welcoming novel at the Bixby, contemplate social justice at the Rokeby, and learn about new Vermonters at the Sheldon.
Each discussion will take place from 1-2PM on the last Saturday of each month as a hybrid meeting – come in person for tea and snacks or stay involved online via Zoom. Join all of the meetings or just one! More information and a Zoom link are available with free registration.
All books will be available for free at the Bixby Memorial Free Library. Additional copies of Deep North will be available at the Henry Sheldon Museum store by donation.
