10/15/23. 

Cool weather is heading our way and the wind has been making short work of the remaining leaves. Time to consider putting away the outdoor furniture and prepare for winter!  Check out the town website for the select board agenda for 10/16.

 I am sorry to say that the second home on Round Top road was destroyed by fire this past week, despite the wonderful efforts of our Plymouth Fire Dept and mutual aid from other depts that joined in the effort. I understand it was fully engaged before it was reported.

The book group will be discussing Lady Tan‘s Circle of Women on 10/18 at 6:30 PM via zoom. This book provides a look at Chinese culture and the role of women in the 15th century, including the ingenuity that allowed them to provide medical care to those in need.

The Plymouth Historical Society will be having an interesting presentation by Marty Podskoch on Sunday, 10/29 at 2 PM at the Plymouth Community Center. A retired teacher, and author of numerous books, he has been gleaning stories and collecting pictures about the civilian conservation corps  (CCC) camps established in 1933 in an attempt to increase employment and reduce poverty.  Camps were established in 34 Vermont towns. Come learn more about the trails, roads, cabins, etc that were constructed by the crews, some of which were in the Coolidge State forest in Plymouth. Join your friends and neighbors for a look back in time. Feel free to bring some goodies to share.

Tiffany and Chris I have told me that progress is being made a Camp Plymouth State. The following article in Vermont Digger provides great information.
