East Warren Historic Photos presentation
September 3 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Dorothy Tod will speak of early East Warren, the photographs, the Blair family and the photographer Mae Blair.
John Barkhausen of Rootsworks thought that the walls of the East Warren Schoolhouse needed a display of historical local photos similar to the ones in the Warren Town Hall. This photo exhibition includes enlargements from the cache of glass negatives created by Ken Blair’s grandmother, Mae Blair, gifted by him to the Warren Historical Society. Blair, a single mother, exhibits her skill depicting her subjects –women, children and animal in everyday life. She also wrote a History of Warren.
The talk will include excerpts of audio from VT Folklife Center interviews John did with Rupert Blair, Mae’s son, back in the 70’s.
