The stories in Vermont Gathering Places are as varied as the counties and towns themselves. 185 duotone photographs accompany stories that include the Brookfield Ice Harvest, the Brattleboro Farmers' Market, Moretown Town Meeting, Pawlet Community Church Supper, Fiddlers' Breakfast at the Bobbin Mill Restaurant in Westfield, Barre's Thunder Road, and the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury. In addition to individual stories, Miller has included large spreads of country stores and parades scattered throughout the state. Vermont Gathering Places is a book for all Vermonters, and it comes alive with the interviews and portraits that define Peter Miller's work and have made his books Vermont People and Vermont Farm Women so popular.
