Daisy Dopp’s Vermont #7: Glover Farm Life in the 1800s

Daisy Dopp lived most of her life on the Glover farm that is now home to the Bread and Puppet Theater. When her husband, Jim, died in 1970, Daisy Dopp moved to a home in the village, and spent some of her time writing articles recalling life on the farm. Most were published first in the Newport Daily Express. Elka Schumann befriended Daisy Dopp and, in cooperation with the Old Stone House Museum & Historic Village, collected and edited a collection of her columns. This is the seventh of a series of these columns with illustrations by Peter Schumann and photographs provided by the Glover Historical Society. In partnership with the Old Stone House Museum & Historic Village, the Chronicle will publish these columns from time to time.
