Connect – Engage – Learn
Free Classes for residents of Wallingford Vermont and nearby communities. We offered opportunities for neighbors to come together and learn with each other in a series of free classes offered over three days in April 2026 – all taught by people who live in our wonderful little town of Wallingford. This is based on a model created by the towns of Bethel and Middletown Springs.
