James P. Taylor Collection

Résumé du livre

Some of the projects that the chamber worked on were the beautification of roadsides in Vermont, the improvement of annual town reports to make them more informative and interesting, support for the Green Mountain Parkway, and monitoring of state spending. Taylor, in conjunction with the Public Relations and Education Committee of the Vermont State Chamber of Commerce, developed an idea about promoting local history which he called the Mansion of History. It was designed to be a four story building, duplicated at colleges and schools throughout the state, with interactive displays, collections of objects and printed sources, and conference and study rooms.
