The public is invited to attend the opening presentation hosted by Kurn Hattin’s executive director, Connie Sanderson on Saturday, April 11 at 1:00 PM.  Sanderson will introduce the exhibit, which features a collection of photos, documents, and records dating back to the late 1800s’ through the present, and tells the story of Kurn Hattin’s founding and development within the context of major events in Vermont and U.S. history, such as World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, and the Civil Rights Movement, as well as significant trends in the fields of child care, education, and social services since the turn of the 19th century that have helped to shape the organization’s philosophy and approach.
