“Across the Onion” –  by Ellen Hill and Marilyn Blackwell – $25/$35
The East Montpelier Historical Society has a number of publications and a video for sale.

You can get a copy in either hard cover for $35 or soft cover for $25 at the Town Office, the Bragg Farm Sugar House and Gift Shop, and the Morse Farm Maple Sugar Works. Also at Bear Pond Books and Book Garden in Montpelier and at Barre Books.

The Vermont Historical Society has them for sale in both the Barre and Montpelier gift shop and carries them in their gift catalog.The glue has failed on some of the original soft cover books and they are now “loose-leaf.” If you have one of these books and wish to purchase a new edition, of either binding, the Society will take back the old copy for a credit of $5.00. These can be re-glued and sold as used books. We would ask that these trades be done only at the Town Office or through the order form.
