Barnet Stage Curtains

The O. L. Story Company of Boston produced only eight Painted Stage Curtains. Barnet is fortunate in possessing three of these curtains. The Vermont Painted Theater Curtains, Chris Hadsel of Burlington, Project Director, is a Project of the Vermont Museum and Gallery Alliance of Woodstock, VT. They have located 143 painted theater curtains in the State of Vermont. During the winter of 2004-2005, three such curtains were professionally restored by Vermont Painted Theater Curtains. The curtains at the Barnet Town Hall and at McIndoes Academy were rehung after restoration. The curtain at the Lakeview Grange in West Barnet is currently in the Fairbanks Museum in St. Johnsbury, VT but will be returned and rehung at the Grange Hall. The curtain at McIA is the only curtain found in a school. Recently a curtain was found in the Passumpsic Grange.

The curtains may be seen by clicking on one of the following thumbnail photos:
