There are posts about people like Harlow Lent and Gile Kendall, places like Dublin Corner, historic things like horse-drawn snowplows, and events like the annual full moon skiing at Lion's rope tow on Harrington Hill.

Restoration
Our new home is being restored! In September 2021, the Strafford Historical Society received a Vermont's Art Council Cultural Facilities grant for $18,040 to be used toward the installation of an energy-efficient heat pump system and was also awarded $51,520 in Tax Credits through the Agency of Commerce's Downtown & Village Center Program to be used toward roof repairs. The Northfield Savings Bank will purchase the Tax Credits.
