Music & Memory: An Afternoon at the Carter House

Blending history with performance, this outdoor concert celebrates the parlor music of Eliza Carter’s generation — waltzes, hymns, and folk ballads once played on family pianos across Vermont. Visitors can bring picnic blankets, enjoy local pastries and lemonade, and listen as musicians perform on period instruments. Between sets, short readings from Eliza’s essays illuminate how music shaped her vision of harmony, both artistic and moral.
