Vermont Humanities*** March 28, 2023

Poet Sarah Audsley joined us at the Taconic Mountains Ramble State Park for Words in the Woods.

Humanities Camps are filled with reading and writing projects, field trips, and outdoor activities.

We won a 2020 Schwartz Prize for best public humanities programming in the U.S. for Vermont Reads 2019: “March: Book One.”

We supported Historic New England’s “More than a Market” project that explored the experiences of new Americans through food markets.

Our free public events help bring the power of the humanities to communities across Vermont.
