Vernon Historical Society Msm — Attraction in Vernon

That institution is one of my favorite places to visit in town.

What I like about the historical society is that it is home of events like annual book sale and craft fair.

The book sale is held every spring (usually held from late April to early May). The craft fair is always held during Thanksgiving weekend.

On the other hand, you'll find historic books and pamphlets, newspapers, maps and many more covering the good ol' Rockville (as once called the Loom City because manufacturing was popular in Rockville back in the 19th / 20th century) and the entire town of Vernon.

Nice staff running this place to make sure that everything valuable about local history is preserved for future generations.

Overall, what a fantastic place worth visiting to find interesting stuff about...

One of the historical society members, Jon, gave me his email address and sent me some photos of the pond I live on from way back in the day. It was a lot of fun and I encourage everyone to check out the cool things the historical...
