Bellows Falls Pride
 

"The Gay Experiment in rural Vermont"  

Since the 1970s Bellows Falls has been a home for the LGBTQIA+ community, with the historic Andrews Inn, the first Gay bar in the state of Vermont.  A lot has changed since then, but what remains the same is Pride in the area and Pride in the people living here.  Join us for community activities throughout

the year!

Looking Back/Moving Forward:
Vermont Stories of LGBTQ+
Caregiving & Community

Rockingham Free Public Library
6 - 7:30 pm 
Followed by reception and dance at Ciao Popolo

This gathering – featuring a performative talk with slides by scholar, writer, and performer Andrew Ingall, discussions with community leaders about LGBTQ+ aging and caregiving, Q&A, and reception/dance party – is part of Resilient Patterns, a state-wide festival presented by Vermont Humanities. The primary focus of Ingall’s lively presentation is on his distant cousins Warren Kronemeyer and Leon Ingall, who lived in Townshend, Vermont from 1980 to 2007. In his multi-platform project Warlé, Andy uses genealogical research, archival documents, photography, artifacts, oral history, movement, and creative nonfiction to “re-member” ancestors he never met. With insights from guest speakers, he will explore how Warren and Leon’s struggles and successes compare with two other notable couples in Vermont history: Charity Bryant and Sylvia Drake of Weybridge, whose relationship as “help-meets” was considered a sacred marriage by their 19th century neighbors; and Thom Herman and Jeremy Youst, who from 1979 to 1984 owned and operated the Andrews Inn, a gay-owned hotel, bar, and disco in Bellows Falls. The project is supported in part by the Vermont Humanities, the state affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.
