As Reeves Strawbridge worked on an exhibit for the Shelburne Historical Society, she discovered she had an affinity for local history.
Pitching in on teaching curriculum for suffrage exhibit as part of a senior project at Vermont Common School Strawbridge said she learned, âItâs important to be interested in the history of the place where you live.â
She was also surprised to learn how many powerful women had been a big part of the townâs history.
Reeves, who is now an online Skidmore College freshman, is a great age for historical societies to attract to keep membership numbers up when elderly leaders âage out.â
