The Poultney Historical Society has just released three new Historical Audio Walking and Driving Tours of Poultney hosted by Vermont’s master storyteller Willem Lange.
These tours accompany the Historical Walking and Driving Tours fold-out map brochure which can be requested by email or by writing to: Poultney Historical Society, PO Box 605, Poultney VT 06741. Or you can find them at the Poultney Visitors Center, at the 1896 Schoolhouse museum in East Poultney, at the East Poultney General Store or at many businesses in town.
The audio and brochure will lead you on walking tours of downtown Poultney and East Poultney, and a driving tour of the surrounding hollows, farms, and quarries that together make up the history of the town.
The tours may be downloaded onto your mp3 player, or rented or purchased on CD. Or you can choose to listen to the tours online. To access these tours, just click on any of these links: the East Poultney Walking Tour, the Main Street Poultney Walking Tour, or the Poultney Driving Tours.
The Society also offers several Virtual Historic Tours on its website through the hundreds of photographs taken over the last century. Simply click on this link and take a tour of Poultney circa 1900.
