    Colebrook Area Historical Society  film presentation: Barns Legacy of Wood & Stone

    Join the Colebrook Area Historical Society for a delightful tour of Vermont's charming barns! Step inside a beautiful old timber frame barn, and you'll feel a true connection to the land. Picture the soaring lofts from long summer days spent unloading hay from horse-drawn wagons, and imagine the wooden floors that tell the story of cows lining up for milking time. Marvel at the massive timbers, lovingly cut from nearby forests, hand-hewn and joined together with pegs. It’s amazing how these simple yet vital elements of our past continue to inspire wonder and appreciation!


    Admission to view this film is free, donations appreciated.

    Join us at the Tillotson Center to listen to presenter Steve Taylor from the NH Humanities To Go Program, on electricity changing rural New Hampshire. Come imagine a New Hampshire town where some people enjoyed the benefits of electricity – lighting at the flick of a switch and reliable heating controlled by a thermostat – while others lived with smelly kerosene lamps and smoky box stoves. In New Hampshire, during the first half of the 20th century,  residents of developed communities enjoyed the transformative benefits of electric power while those in the sparsely populated regions lived and worked in conditions little changed from the 19th century.  

    It took the coming of the New Deal's Rural Electrification Administration and a determined band of farmers to overcome opposition from the established private utilities to create the New Hampshire Electric Cooperative in 1939. Despite labor and material shortages during World War II, within a decade, power came to almost all of the previously unserved areas of the state. For thousands of households, this meant relief from the drudgery of the wood-fueled cookstove, the washboard and the kerosene lamp. Reliable electric power similarly brought new ways of life to farmers and artisans. This program will explore how these developments changed civic and social life in New Hampshire’s countryside, and touch the ways the disparity of broadband access in the state today echoes these earlier struggles. 

    Admission is Free, Donations Accepted

    Stanley Nelson's syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, from early roots to 1970s urban funk and beyond.

    WE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul, and early jazz roots, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown's dynamism, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle, and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, the story also traces funk's influences on both new wave and hip-hop.
