This year the Heritage Winooski Mill Museum is celebrating its 25th anniversary. If you haven’t visited the museum yet, this summer would be a good time head on down.
The museum’s permanent exhibition gives a detailed presentation of the building’s history as a textile mill. There many French Canadian and other immigrants once toiled to create all kinds of fabrics for all kinds of clothing, including Civil War uniforms.
The exhibition space features a Story Kiosk, where visitors can record their personal stories. You can listen to stories that others have recorded here.
The museum would love to hear your story if you have:
*a personal connection to this or any other textile mill
*a family immigration story
*a memory of the Mill Museum itself
Help the museum celebrate its birthday by sharing your story!
Anyone who shares their story by August 31 will be entered for a chance to win a $25 gift card for the Waterworks Restaurant.
The museum’s official 25th Anniversary Celebration will take place on Sunday, September 3, from 10:00 a.m. to noon. They’ll showcase community stories and announce the gift card winner.
