Norwich
Langbeschreibung
In 1765, pioneers spent their first long winter on the banks of the Connecticut River in the section of wilderness that would become the town of Norwich, Vermont. These settlers and their families fought hard to turn the rough terrain into a thriving farming and manufacturing community that would soon boast 20 school districts and a prominent military academy. Although winters were harsh and the demands of daily chores were never ending, the residents ofNorwich still found time to lead full and varied lives. The manufacturing and military communities are gone now, but that fascinating past will come alive in these remarkable images of Norwich families at work and at play.
Join local historians Margaret Cheney McNally and Frances L. Niles as they preserve this heritage in an unprecedented collection of photographic images that will show Norwich as it once was. Enhanced by the informative text of McNally and Niles, Norwich is sure to appeal to residents as well as visitors, and will be enjoyed for generations to come.
