Pittsford Historical Society Meeting Sunday, April 6,
2008
Civil War historian and author Howard Coffin will discuss
researching Vermont's home front during "The War Between the
States" at the Pittsford Historical Society members' meeting
on Sunday, April 6. The meeting will be preceded by a
potluck supper at 5:30 p.m. in the St. Alphonsus Catholic
Church parish hall, on Route 7.
Mr. Coffin's very popular talk will
begin at 7:00 p.m. Coffin invites audiences to share their
memories of local events and people, and to bring photos,
letters, and other memorabilia for all to see.
He is currently working on a book on
this subject. His program is sponsored by the Vermont
Humanities Council.
The evening is open to anyone
interested in Vermont Civil War history, but those attending
the supper are asked to bring a dish to share. Beverages
will be provided.
The parish hall is ADA accessible.
For more information on this program or the museum hours
call Anne Pelkey at 483-6178 or Peggy Armitage at 483-2108.
Unless otherwise noted, all meetings are at Pittsford Congregational
Church on Route 7

It’s a collection of articles on Vermont
people, places and the way things were done in the late 1800’s and
early 1900’s. Many names are familiar to Pittsford people, yet they
could have been part of almost any small Vermont town with a change
of label. Appropriate photographs go with each story, including Dr.
Leslie Frost in his World War 1 uniform, Eleanor Smith’s electric
butter churn, and numerous prints from Mary Randall Allen’s glass
negatives. A percentage of the profits from the sale of the 256-page
book will go to the Pittsford Historical Society.
Cost is $20.00
To purchase a copy contact Jean at 483-6623 or e-mail: You can pick one up at the Eaton Hall
Museum when it opens in late March, or if you need the book shipped
send a check for $20.00 plus $3.50 shipping to Cozi Publishing,
