BRIDPORT — The Bridport Historical Society will hold its 2022 annual meeting and potluck lunch on Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Bridport Community/Masonic Hall.

The talk is a Vermont Humanities Council Program.

The Annual Meeting begins at 1 p.m. with a potluck lunch. (Bring a dish to share!) Coffin’s program begins at 2 p.m. The Bridport Historical Society annual meeting will follow the program.
