Cows and Communities: How the Lowly Bovine Has Nurtured New Hampshire Through Four Centuries, a talk by Steve Taylor. Thursday, October 21, 7:30 pm at the Mont Vernon Congregational Church. Mark your calendar!
Cattle were essential to the survival of the earliest New Hampshire settlements, and their contributions have been central to the life and culture of the state ever since. From providing dietary sustenance to basic motive power, bovines have had a deep and enduring bond with their keepers, one that lingers today and is a vital part of the iconography of rural New Hampshire. Where are New Hampshire cows today? What are they doing for us now?
The Daland Memorial Library and the Mont Vernon Historical Society will co-sponsor this program from the New Hampshire Humanities Council.
