We had a lot of fun editing clips from our programs in 2019 into a short year-end video. We revisited John Lewis’ and Andrew Aydin’s trip to Burlington in October, our Fall Conference, Humanities Camps, First Wednesdays, the Before Your Time podcast series, and more.

And here’s your chance to double your impact with a gift to Vermont Humanities. A group of generous donors from our Board has pledged to match any gift up to a total of $7000 given before December 31. Please help us share the power of the humanities by making a gift today. Thank you!
