Announcements:

Thanks for Donna S. Ianni, Barbara Champney and Frances Lampman for their generosity and assitance with items on display which tell the story of the Pownal post offies.  Take note of who could carry the US mail in 1803 and what routes existed then.  How long after Vermnt became a state did we have a post office?  Where was the last post office in Pownal Center?

Volunteers:
