Two Part Series—Gold Mining in Vermont
Part One: February 21, 1:00PM
Historian Coleman (Bill) Hoyt of Bridgewater will discuss the rich history of the gold mining industry in Bridgewater and Plymouth, Vermont in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. The interest in this subject has been rekindled due to last year’s churning up and erosion of stream beds by Tropical Storm Irene, and the possibility of new panning opportunities. Bill has researched the history of gold in Vermont at the UVM and State libraries, and learned about it first hand from legendary Bridgewater natives like Lawrence Curtis, who passed away in 1996 lying on his back – alongside Broad Brook in Plymouth with a gold pan on his stomach containing some “color”, as he called it. Bill will welcome audience feedback, questions and input. Part Two: Date to be determined - The nuts and bolts of gold mining (a hands-on discussion).
