  • The Little-Known Story of a Central Spot in Middlebury Jan Albers, Former Executive Director, Henry Sheldon Museum
    PAST TIMES: STORIES FROM THE SHELDON’S PAST The Little-Known Story of a Central Spot in Middlebury Jan Albers, former Executive Director, Henry Sheldon Museum This article first appeared in the Addison Independent in September 2007 . Reproduced with permission. Why are there children’s swings on the grounds of stately Twilight Hall on College Street? We all know Middlebury College students look younger every year, but surely not young enough for swinging. The Grammar School in 1868. Collection of the Henry Sheldon Museum Landscapes are full of ghosts, the remnants of uses that have long been supplanted. As our older generation knows, the little story of the College St. swings is tied to the larger history of education in Middlebury. Twilight Hall’s history as a College building only goes back to 1984; but it sits on ground earmarked for education for over two centuries. The Sheldon Museum staff was reminded of this recently when the board of the Addison County Grammar School asked whether they could donate their records to the Museum. After years spent safely tucked in the vault at the National Bank of Middlebury, Bank President Ken Perine suggested that the Sheldon could better preserve them and make them available to the community. We were honored to oblige. The two leather-bound record books, covering board notes and finances, and a few files, have a lot to tell us about that green and its role in the life of the town. The Addison County Grammar School is one of the oldest corporations in Vermont, established in 1797 by an act of the new state’s legislature.

  • Seth Storrs, Congregationalism, and the Founding of Middlebury College
    Seth Storrs, Congregationalism, and the Founding of Middlebury College The role of Seth Storrs in the founding of Middlebury College has not been given much attention; it is time to give him his long-due recognition. By Robert L. Ferm n November 1, 2000, Middlebury College celebrated the two hundredth anniversary of its charter. During its history OMiddlebury College has suffered through some dark times, yet it has survived and become a thriving institution in American higher education. Debts are owed to those who had the vision for this college in Vermont’s wilderness, and to those benefactors during its his- tory who supported its existence and made survival possible.1 The recent year-long celebration of the college’s bicentennial gave primary attention to the roles of the local entrepreneur, Gamaliel Painter (1742–1819), and Timothy Dwight (1752–1817), the president of Yale College. Painter was described as the founder of the college and recognition of that is evidenced in the bestowal of a replica of Painter’s walking stick to every graduate of the college at commencement and to alumni who return for their class reunions. The importance of Dwight’s visit to Middlebury to confer with town officials and give his blessing to the hopes for a college in the village was noted by a group of runners who retraced Dwight’s journey from New Haven, Connecticut, to Mid- dlebury. This further look at the period of the founding has led to a dif- ferent perspective on the college’s origin. This essay addresses three themes that supplement the previous his- toriography and focus on material not covered in earlier accounts.
