The Curtain Rises on Vermont

Vermont's Painted Theatre Curtains were made between 1880 and 1940 and are on display thanks in part to The Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance and a grant from the NEA. [more inside]
I can just imagine the deliciously musty smell those things must have.

Thanks grapefruitmoon, It makes me feel good to know people care about preserving these. On that site you linked to there's a convenient list of Historical Societies in Vermont.
The link to the images of the painted curtains and some information about each one.

There is also the Vermont Historical Society website. The Vermont Historical Society held their annual expo in my town of Tunbridge this past weekend. [second link is kinda a self-link as I manage the site for one of my clients.]
