The Vermont
Folklife Center was founded in 1984 to preserve and present
folk arts and the Vermont cultural tradition/heritage that might
otherwise be lost. Housed in the historic Masonic Hall in Middlebury,
they offer gallery exhibits of folk and traditional arts, a heritage
shop, an educational resource center, an apprenticeship program
and an oral history and folklife archive with over 3800 taped
interviews.
The Center also sponsors a variety of educational
programs that travel to visit schools and groups.
Admission is free, and the gallery/shop is open
Thursday through Saturday, 11-4 (the Research center is open Monday
to Friday, 10-4). You can reach the Vermont Folklife Center at
802-388-4964, or stop into their Website for info on events and
current exhibits. |
