To preserve the history of Cabot, Vermont.
Cabot Historical Society began in autumn 1965. Interested ladies met at Mrs. Abbie Orne's home. They elected officers: Mrs. Beatrice Perry, president; Mrs. Abbie Orne, vice president; Mrs. Helen Wellman, secretary; and Mrs. Ruth Peck, treasurer. The first project was researching Cabot's early settlers. The first fund raiser was a food sale. The few artifacts owned by the historical society were kept at the Willey Building. Dues were 25 cents. Historical Society Formed
