Historical Society intern, grant
BETHEL — Randall Bennett, executive director of the Bethel Historical Society, has announced that Carlee Beatson of Bethel has been chosen as the 2012 summer intern.
The society’s High School History Internship Program was inaugurated in 2007 to provide valuable historical education experiences for qualified students in grades nine through 12 in SAD 44 and Gould Academy. Students who are homeschooled or attending school elsewhere, but whose parents are legal residents of SAD 44 are also eligible.
Over an eight-week period, interns participate in a variety of activities, including house museum interpretation, historical walking tours, exhibit research and preparation, special event and programming development, and collections management. This educational opportunity, which includes a $1,000 stipend, offers important public history experiences and numerous insights into the preservation and interpretation of local and regional history.
The Bethel Historical Society has received a $500 grant from Franklin Savings Bank to cover the cost of additional interior storm windows at the Robinson House.
