Christmas Season Celebration
in Starksboro

December 20nd
at 6:30 pm

Starksboro Village Meeting House - Lighting of the Chandelier by Kevin Hanson, the grandson of Ruth Carpenter Hanson who spearheaded a group of Starksboro residents to acquire the Meeting House and preserve it for future generations in 1957.

A tradition since the 1960's, the service is held in a sanctuary where electric lights are a secondary way to light the space. The primary light source is a kerosene lamp chandelier.

The non-denominational service, will be a program of lessons and carols, also featuring other special music.

The service is centered around the Christmas Story and the popular candle lighting ceremony in a sanctuary where little has changed from when it was last used as an active Church in the early 1900's, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the past.

Help Renovate the Starksboro Cooperative Preschool for Future Generations

Preschool Kids

The Starksboro Cooperative Preschool has been in operation for 50 years as a top-quality child care and early education center for the children of Starksboro and surrounding towns.

Nearly 40 of those years, it has used the Starksboro Village Meetinghouse as its home and classroom.

The total project cost is estimated to be $454,000. We've already raised $389,000 through grants and gifts.
