GUILFORD — Congratulations to the winners to this year's Guilford Historical Society Raffle - Lana Golden, Anne Montgomery and K. Orr!

The raffle was a super success and raised money to support the maintenance and much-needed repairs for our town's important historic buildings (including the 1837 Guilford Center Meeting House and 1797 Brick School House), as well as expand our museum operations and educational programming for Guilford kids.

The Guilford Historical Society thanks everyone who participated in this year's raffle, and send a big shout out to residents and local businesses who made generous donations.

Wednesday, February 19, 2020 — Issue 549

The recent discussion of David Schoales' candidacy for re-election to the Brattleboro Selectboard strikes me as right on the mark. David's record on the ongoing issues facing the town has been impressive, and his new ideas valuable and timely. He also has served as an active member of Compassionate Brattleboro, another indication of the ways in which he is continually striving to make ours a healthier community.
