Author Event with Yvonne DaleyGoing Up The Country: When the Hippies, Dreamers, Freaks and Radicals Moved to Vermont is part oral history, part nostaligia-tinged narrative and part clear-eyed analysis of the counterculture movement in Vermont which forever changed the state's complexion.
As one of those hippies who moved to Vermont to escape the 1950s establishment, Daley offers an inside look at the movement and discusses how these back-to-landers, political radicals, sexual libertines and utopians changed our previously conservative state and led us to farm-to-table, Bernie Sanders and the progressive politics of today. Daley will be zooming in with this presentation. You can attend in Room or on Zoom |
