There’s a world of history to discover about Chittenden County

 From the hippodromes, hyperbole, and hullabaloo of the golden age of circuses and the lazy days of summer with Vermont’s first professional baseball team to interviews with Vermont’s peace activists of the past 40 years and tales of the Underground Railroad.

 Each year, CCHS awards research grants to individuals who propose original research projects on forgotten or neglected aspects of Chittenden County’s past.  This is an ideal opportunity for students of history -- whether amatuer or professional -- who want to delve into the county's vibrant past and share the fruits of their research with others by presenting their findings at a CCHS program meeting or having their findings published in the quarterly Bulletin.  We welcome applications from people of all ages on any subject that will shed light on the rich history that is our heritage.

If you would like to apply for a research grant please print out and send in a grant application.
