Much of the bedrock foundation of Vermont was formed hundreds of millions of years ago when Vermont was covered by an ocean, and volcanoes erupted in spectacular fashion on islands in that ocean. Dr. Ray Coish will discuss this ancient history and answer any other burning geological questions you may have.

Dr. Coish is the Robert R. Churchill Professor Emeritus of Geosciences at Middlebury College.

Program will be held in the Woodstock History Center’s library, which is located at 26 Elm Street, Woodstock, VT.
