Marshfield Story Project is live on Digital Vermont!
We are continuing our relationship with Vermont Historical Society and training from Paul Carnahan, Librarian and Marjorie Strong, Assistant Librarian. We are continuing to add photos of Marshfield from long along and not so long ago. Let us know if you have a special photo that you want to share—and a story that goes with it. We can scan it and include it in the collection.

Marshfield Story Project YouTube Channel
We’ve created a YouTube Channel to provide more space to store and view our larger videos. Currently, you can view the Marshfield Story Project Town Meeting Day Interview Video, the Twinfield Together Zoom Sharing Circle and an interview with Rich and Kass Phillips. BONUS VIEWING! The Capital City Grange shared their interview with The Dunlops, the new owners of Hollister Hill Farm. Hear about their adventures as new farmers.
