SUMMARY:Marble Museum Open House
DESCRIPTION:The Vermont Marble Museum and the Preservation Trust of Vermont [PTV] invite the public to an open house and exhibition at the historic home of the Vermont Marble Company\, 52 Main Street in Proctor\, on October 15 from 4-7 p.m. \nThe public can enjoy films\, artifacts\, and food before the Museum moves and refines the collection into a new space within the historic marble complex in the coming months. \nFor many in the Marble Valley\, the Vermont Marble Company’s plant and the exhibition has been well-visited cultural\, historical\, and industrial landmarks. \nIn 2012\, when the building and museum collections were at risk of being sold piecemeal\, the Preservation Trust of Vermont stepped in to purchase the building and its collections and moved to secure the museum’s future. With their successful purchase of much of the collection and the historic marble exhibit\, PTV helped usher in the non-profit Vermont Marble Museum to advocate for the collection and the building’s long-term preservation. \nWith careful management and plans to respect the site’s historic buildings\, Zion Growers will begin the reuse of the building as part of their fiber-based hemp processing. This new use is a compatible one that honors and continues the industrial use of this historic mill complex. \nThe Preservation Trust of Vermont will continue to own the collections\, maintain a 99-year lease for the museum’s benefit\, and co-hold a protective historic preservation easement on the entire building in partnership with the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board. \nAt the October 15 event and moving forward\, the Vermont Marble Museum welcomes the community to share its thoughts and insights about the direction that the retooled museum and its future programming should take and how it can become a more meaningful community cultural institution; one that recognizes both the past and present roles of marble in the valley\, and works to tell the stories of the people who have labored here for centuries in the marble trades.

SUMMARY:Woods Walk to highlight 50 years of intensive hardwood management
DESCRIPTION:Join the Vermont Woodlands Association for a Woods Walk on Saturday\, October 15. The walk will highlight the over 50 years of intensive hardwood management at Hawkes Tree Farm in Woodstock. The property is owned and managed by Gerry Hawkes. \nMr. Hawkes has practiced intensive hardwood management on his 43-acre property since he purchased it in 1969. Mr. Hawkes will lead the walk and share the work done on the property through the years and its successful results. The work has transformed the property from being overstocked with low-quality trees to a healthier woodland with well-spaced\, high-quality timber. \nMr. Hawkes is a professional forester who\, in the past\, has managed about 30\,000 acres for private clients in Vermont and served as a consultant on USAID\, World Bank\, and United Nations projects in Africa and Asia. \nThe event will be from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and take place rain or shine\, so attendees are encouraged to dress appropriately in good hiking shoes. Hawkes Tree Farm is located at 796 Wayside Road \n\n\n\n\n\n\nExtension\, Woodstock\, VT 05091. Since GPS is not always reliable in getting to the tree farm\, detailed directions are listed below.\nFrom Woodstock:\nTake Route 12 North out of Woodstock. Set an odometer at the iron-sided bridge on the edge of town. Go approximately 3.5 miles on Route 12. Look for Wayside Road\, a gravel road on the left\, which immediately crosses a small brook next to Route 12. The first place you will see on this road is the former River Bend garden center in a green-roofed barn with greenhouses in the back. \nAfter about a mile\, the town road will cross a dam on a pond. Keep going straight on Wayside Road Ext. Go approximately one mile up this road (do NOT turn right after the pond). Where the town road takes a sharp left\, you continue straight through a gap in the stone walls where the #796 and the name Gerry Hawkes are on a mailbox. Go by the log piles\, and we will park and meet in front of the 4-bay shop. \nFrom Bethel: \nTake Route 12 South by Silver Lake and Barnard General Store. From Barnard General Store\, continue about 6 miles south on Route 12. Look for Wayside Road\, a gravel road on the right\, which immediately crosses a small brook next to Route 12. The first place you will see on this road is the former River Bend garden center in a green-roofed barn with greenhouses in the back. \nAfter about a mile\, the town road will cross a dam on a pond. Keep going straight on Wayside Road Ext. Go approximately one mile up this road (do NOT turn right after the pond).
