Vermont Historical Society- Vermont Banjo Afternoon

Join the Vermont Historical Society and Young Tradition Vermont for an afternoon of music with a side of history, featuring talented young banjo players. In 2017, the Vermont Historical Society was gifted a rare early 1900s banjo made by the Bacon Banjo company of Forest Dale (Brandon) Vermont. We’ll be exploring this intriguing item, and how it differs from today’s instruments, with 3 young Vermont musicians: Carling Berkhout (Bennington), Uma Peters (Nashville, TN), and Loula Zeichner (Northfield). Each musician will play a couple or 3 selections of their own choosing, with their own instruments, and if possible, using the restored Bacon banjo.
