The Chittenden County Historical Society celebrates the launch of a new book about historian, collector, writer, and legislator Lilian Baker Carlisle. Lilian Baker Carlisle, Vermont Historian, Burlington Treasure: A Scrapbook Memoir is researched, written, and designed by Joanna Tebbs Young, with photography by Timothy Clemens. Featuring photos, ephemera, news clippings and souvenirs from 1925-2006, this book is a reflection of Burlington and wider Vermont history from the perspective of one of the CCHS’s most enthusiastic and knowledgeable founders. Shelburne Museum is especially proud to host this publication’s launch, as Baker Carlisle was Electra Havemeyer Webb’s assistant during the Museum’s founding days. Copies of the book will be available for purchase.
