The sixty-page booklet is ilustrated by forty photographs culled from the Perkins collection and from photographs in the Society’s archives. There are also two early maps, the 1855 Hosea Doton map of Weathersfield, and the 1869 map of Weathersfield from the Beers Atlas of Windsor County.

The booklet provides the reader with a slice of life in Weathersfield in the first half of the twentieth century. There is a wonderful photograph of the Junior Historical Society in 1958, and of three of the early leaders of the Society, Mary Peirce, Thelma Hoisington and Winnie Perkins in about 1965.

The notebooks have been edited by Edith Hunter, and the photographs have been selected by Edith and Sally Harris. Sally has been responsible for the design and production of the booklet.

It will be available in April for $15, with an additonal $3 for mailed copies. Orders should be sent to the Society at Post Office Box 126, Weathersfield, VT 05151-0126 with checks made payable to the Weathersfield Historical Society. Copies may be picked up at Edith Hunter’s or at future Society events.
