Vermonters have always been inventive, especially when it comes to agricultural innovations. Time- and labor-saving inventions that ease the hard work of farming have always been important in our rural, agricultural state. In this illustrated lecture, retired engineer Paul Woods presents a sampling of farm tools, implements, and artifacts invented or produced in Vermont, examining their use, uniqueness of design, and the often fascinating stories of the inventors themselves. The presentation will take place on Saturday, September 26th at 1pm at the Putney Public Library and is sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council through its Speakers Bureau program, with support from the Dunham-Mason Fund of the Vermont Community Foundation.
Putney Library is located at 55 Main Street in Putney, VT. This program is free and open to the public.
