“Vermont vs. Hollywood: 100 Years of Vermont in Film” at the Community Hall
Thursday July 30 at 5pm
Vermont has been a featured location in Hollywood movies for nearly a century. It has represented many different ideals during that time, and its portrayal reflects both Vermont’s own history as well as American history. Examining those films provides interesting and fun insights into the hold Vermont has had on imagination in the media age.
Amanda Kay Gustin of the Vermont Historical Society will provide background and share clips ranging chronologically from 1919’s “Way Down East” to 2005’s “Thank You for Smoking”.
The Community Hall is located at 3541 US Route 2 in North Hero.

Author Reading- “Lorca in Vermont” at the Community Hall
Wednesday August 26 5pm
The works of Spanish poet and playwright Federico García Lorca (1898-1936) are celebrated worldwide for their lyricism, intensity, and social commentary. Poet in New York, one of Lorca’s best-known collections, is widely assumed to reflect only his experiences in New York City in 1929 and 1930. In actuality, almost a quarter of the poems in the collection are linked to Eden Mills, Vermont, where Lorca stayed with his friend and lover Philip Cummings in August 1929.
In her talk, Patricia Billingsley will explain the history of Lorca’s relationship with Cummings and discuss how their ten days together in Vermont influenced Lorca’s life and poetry, with particular emphasis on his “Double Poem of Lake Eden.”
The North Hero Community Hall is located at 3541 US Route 2 in North Hero.
