On March 6^th, communities across Vermont will come together to discuss their town business at Town Meeting Day. For over 200 years, Town Meeting Day has been an important political event as citizens elect local officers and vote on budgets. It has also been a time for neighbors to discuss the civic issues of their community, state and nation.

As Town Meeting is once again upon us, we explored the history of Town Meeting Day and why it continues to be an important part of our community experience.
