South Hero Historical Society: 5.1.2015 David Fifield and Memories of the Old Canning Factory and Bean Factory on Station Road

Dr. Robinson's 3-4 classroom blog from 2012-2016

The students in Dr. Robinson's 3-4 Team studied South Hero History for 6 years and took many field trips around town.

Notice

At the end of 2018 Lake Champlain Access Television [LCATV] started filming our presentations. Their output is 2 to 4 times sharper than the videos I was putting up. That means it takes a little longer to get the video to start. [The reason I reduced the quality level of my videos.] Their production is different than mine and you will notice that immediately.
When you click on a video, it starts to load. It will take about 30 seconds [an eternity when you are waiting] to start playing. The speakers will start to sound and the video will look like it is not running for about 23 seconds. LCATV puts up an identification POSTER for those 23 seconds. Don't be alarmed, it is running if you can hear the sound.

South Hero Historical Society Presents: “Night at the Museum!" On Thursday, March 2, 2023 at 6:30pm at the Worthen Library, the South Hero Historical Society would like to acquaint you with the South Hero Bicentennial Museum. The museum building itself has an interesting history and over the years the collection has been cared for by a number of volunteers. On the first floor it offers an extensive library of genealogy material, maps of the town from the 1700s on, and the history of education in South Hero. There is also a detailed local military display from the Revolutionary War to Vietnam. A favorite exhibit called, “When you live on a lake” has features on fishing and hunting and the evolution of steamboats as they were built on and burned near our shores. Downstairs has a blacksmith display, railroad items, bean factory and other machinery, tools, and more. For those of you who often think as you drive by, “I wonder what’s in there,” here’s your chance to explore many of our artifacts via a slideshow and a professionally made video of what you’ve been missing. Come and enjoy a “Night at the South Hero Bicentennial Museum!” Starting in Oct. 2022 our Historical Society will be partnering with the Worthen Library. Programs will be advertised through their website and programs will be videoed and a link will be placed in a post to view all 2022 and on programs.
