This Place in History: Snow Roller Operations

Before automobiles, towns often used snow rollers to clear their roads and streets for townspeople to use sleighs to move around. In this latest episode of This Place in History, Vermont Historical Society Executive Director Steve Perkins and ABC 22 & Fox 44 Anchor Mike Hoey head over to Peacham to learn about the people who used this equipment.
This Place in History is produced in partnership by ABC 22 & FOX 44 (www.mychamplainvalley.com) and the Vermont Historical Society.
