CRAFTSBURY – Architectural historian Polly Seddon Allen will discuss the cultural and physical development of the J.W. Simpson Memorial Library, Monday, Aug. 18, at 6 p.m., at the library. From Nineteenth Century general store to community library, Allen recently authored a National Register of Historic Places Nomination for the library and will share the strands that underlie the property’s nearly two hundred years of development as a community center. The discussion will be joined by stories from community members who grew up in and around the library and its steward, Miss Jean Simpson.
The library is located at 1972 East Craftsbury Road.
