Telling the tale of a small town in Vermont is no easy feat, but this collection of photographs from the University of Vermont Libraries does a nice job. The collection documents life in Vergennes (Vermont's oldest city) from 1866 to the town's bicentennial in 1988. Here visitors will find a collection of 788 images, which includes images of local industries, scenic vistas, and portraits of town leaders. Some of the photographs were taken by local artist Harvey Custer Ingham, who is also well-known in the town annals for his gift of a new library building in 1912. First-time visitors would do well to browse through topic headings like "architecture" and "bands" to get a feel for this unique trove of images.
