In 1955, members of Stowe's oldest families convened in an attempt to record and preserve the town's past, for fear its legacy would be lost.[2]
With the help of Vermont Historical Society, Stowe Historical Society was formed on April 17, 1956, in the town's Memorial Building. It is now one of Vermont's largest non-profit sources of the state's history.[2] The society is based in two one-room former schoolhouses on School Street, adjacent to another former school,[3] the Helen Day Memorial Library and Art Center. One is the former West Branch Schoolhouse, a district school which was moved to its current location in 2009;[4] the other is the Bloody Brook Schoolhouse, another district school which was moved to its new home in 1909.[4][5]
