Presenter Michele Pagan will speak to the Arlington community on the topic of Vermont samplers: what they are, why they were made, and the socio-economic clues that can be read in them. A sampler made in Arlington will be included in her remarks.

Michele is currently associated with the Vt Sampler Initiative and coordinated the Samplers Driving Tour, Summer 2025, in conjunction with the VT State 250th Commemoration of the start of the American Revolution.

This is a free event and is sponsored by the Keelan Family Foundation. It will take place in the Watkins House at the Arlington Common.
