Inspired by the exhibit currently on display on our Middlebury Gallery, Ice Shanties: Fishing, People and Culture, this month we focus on the seasonal community of fishers that remerges each winter on the ice at the Retreat Meadows in Brattleboro.

Based on interviews with hunters conducted by the Vermont Folklife Center, “Deer Stories” doesn’t advocate for or condemn hunting but rather explores the experience from an insider’s point of view.
