You can find specific program listings on our Calendar. The following are some current initiatives and ways you can explore more of Vermont's story.
Lecture Series

The Vermont History Trivia kit is available to historical societies, museums, libraries, and other cultural or nonprofit institutions to use for a fun, lighthearted program that can appeal to a range of audiences. The kit is available in multiple formats: all-digital, questions only or questions & prizes, with a range of pricing.
