Long time Craftsbury residents Thomas Twetten (author) and Harry Miller (photographer) have teamed up to create a lovingly rendered book about Craftsbury and its people; past and present to benefit  the public library. The book, Craftsbury Celebration, documents over 70 homes, still in use, built before 1860. Each page tells the history of a home and occupants and is accompanied by a full-color photographs. In addition, there are short essays about the various public buildings in town as well as historic photos sprinkled throughout. 

Tom and Harry work on the final layout of ‘Craftsbury Celebration’.

This book was created as a fundraiser for another venerable building in town, the Craftsbury Public Library! ALL of the proceeds from this limited edition book will go to the library. Tom and Harry both have long connections to the CPL, Tom serving as chair of the Building Committee that built the new library in 2000 for which Harry was the contractor. There are only 500 copies of this book, signed and numbered by the author and there will not be another printing, so get a copy of this important keepsake before they are history.

Pre-orders for the book will be available soon. Physical copies can be picked up at, or after, a book launch on Friday, August 8th at 6pm. Details about the launch events to be announced at a later date.
