This month’s episode explores the persistence of Franco-American culture in Vermont through the life and work of the late Martha Pellerin. Learn about Martha and her work to promote, validate and share the contributions made by Vermonters of French Canadian descent to the culture of contemporary Vermont.

To celebrate Women’s History Month, we honor the achievements of three extraordinary women: Nellie Staves, Daisy Turner, and Gert Lepine—all of whom were interviewed extensively by Vermont Folklife Center founder (and pioneer in her own right) Jane C. Beck.
