Every town has its treasures and many of them will be featured when many of Addison County's historical societies present a collaborative exhibit at the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury from March 2 through April 17. The second annual exhibit, Town Treasures: The Local History Show, will again present stories and treasures from each of the participating towns. This year the town of Addison will feature Prentiss Cheney, an early doctor. Bristol's display tells the story of Merritt Parmalee Allen, a boys' fiction writer in the 1940s. Lincoln and Orwell will showcase the veterans from their towns from the post-revolutionary period to the Iraqi conflict. New Haven tells the story of the Dog Team Tavern complete with a model of the restaurant and Monkton shares tales of the early schools in their town. Shoreham's Levi Parsons Morton who went on to become Vice President of the United States under Benjamin Harrison adds a little national interest to the exhibit while Ferrisburgh's flax wheel and articles of clothing offer a glimpse into the daily lives of Vermont's early settlers. The Henry Sheldon Museum will display documents and photos detailing the history of the Museum. Don't miss this celebration of Addison County's local history.
