Vermont's 19th Century Deaf Community

Vermont's 19th Century Deaf Community

Join us for an in-person talk at the Vermont History Center in Barre with Rebecca A. R. Edwards. This lecture will shine a light on Vermont’s deaf founding fathers and mothers. The earliest roots of the national deaf community grew from right here, in New England, and this talk will cover Montpelier as a central place in the history of the larger deaf community. ASL interpretation will be provided for the talk.
