The Society has two current exhibits in the
town of Brattleboro's municipal building: Island Park, an amusement
park that was located on an island in the Connecticut River and an exhibit
on the Sanborn
Maps of Brattleboro. The Sanborn map, originally used for fire
underwriting purposes, is considered the definitive record of historic
building locations. |
