nt, is orth nt. ent r as REPORT ON 2011 We like to make this newsletter our annual report and take advantage of this opportunity to say a special thank you to all our donors, members, and friends without whom our work would not be possible. Your Historical Society continues to grow and thrive thanks to the generous support of the Norwich community, and 2011, the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of our Town’s Charter, was no exception. Along with the Historic Walking Tour Library, the Women’s Club and the Town, we coordinated a series of celebratory events. Everything came together on September 17th on the Norwich green with our own Charter Day. We were honored to have the Color Guard from Norwich University with us. Senator Leahy sent a flag that had flown over the U.S. Capitol, and Governor Peter Shumlin and Congressman Peter Welch JOIN US AT THE HISTORICAL SOCIETY Friday, June 29 Opening Reception 5:30-7:30pm Gardeners of Norwich: Digging the Past, Sowing the Future Photographs by Chad Finer with antique farm and garden tools from the Historical Society’s collection spoke, along with State Representative Margaret Cheney. Marion Cross students wrote their own Charter, now hanging at the Historical Society, and they provided the music and read from both Charters, old and new. Curators in the Community, a look at life in Norwich today, is the 250th exhibit curated by the Marion Cross students, and represents every class. It is a lasting time capsule until the 300th anniversary celebration in 2061! The Historical Society works closely with our Historic Preservation Commission. In 2011, thanks to a federal grant and additional support from the Preservation Trust of Vermont and Dartmouth Printing, we produced a wonderful Historic Walking Tour brochure. You can find it at the Norwich Inn, Library and Tracy Hall and in the Vermont State Welcome Centers. We know it is bringing Saturday, September 8 8th annual Norwich Antiques Show 10am-4pm Spend the day with some of the best antique dealers in New England. visitors to town as we see them walking up and down Main Street with brochures in hand, frequenting our shops, eating in our restaurants, and visiting the Historical Society. We continue to promote and educate about the importance of historic preservation in our town. We will be developing an enhancement to the Historical Society’s website that will focus on the preservation projects underway. Currently the last two remaining one-room schoolhouses, Beaver Photo by Stephen Flanders Meadow and Root, are hoping to do some major restoration work, and the Grange needs attention too. Without your commitment, we could not do what we do, and we are very grateful. Thank you!

Mike had been a member and supporter of the Historical Society for many years and offered his time and fundraising skills to help with the capital campaign when the Society moved to its current site in 2003. His enthusiasm and commitment to preserve Norwich’s history and restore the Lewis House encouraged other gifts as well, successfully jumpstarting the campaign. We are very grateful to him and to his family for this bequest. CHARITABLE BEQUESTS are gifts to the Historical Society at the time of death under a will or trust agreement. They are fully deductible for Federal estate tax purposes. A bequest may be made in the form of cash, securities, or real estate. The following sample language for an outright, unrestricted residual bequest can easily be added to an existing will or trust: “I give to the Norwich Historical Society, Norwich, Vermont _____________dollars ($________), or __________percent (____%) of my residuary estate, to be used for the benefit of the Norwich Historical Society as the Trusteees thereof may direct.” All photos by Richard Perry Frances Niles Robert and Frances Nye Nancy and Bill Osgood Beth Perry and Jeff Reed Robert and Elizabeth Porter Andrew and Kate Robinson Jane O.
