Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning (GMALL) is excited to partner with the Manchester Historical Society to present this talk about the history of winter sports in Manchester, VT. With winter days just ahead, enjoy a look back at winter sports as they develop in Manchester-and-the-Mountains from the Victorian era through the 1980s, from snowshoeing to skiing and snowboarding. Manchester even hosted dog-sled racing at the 1936 Winter Carnival! Shawn Harrington, curator of MHS, will describe how Manchester evolved from a 19th century summer destination into a modern four-season resort. Registration for this program is free, however, registration is needed so that we may send you the Zoom link. For more information or to register, please call 802-867-0111 or visit our website at greenmtnacademy.org.
