The 1950s brought changes to Vermont as the booming post-war economy paved the way for exciting developments. For many, the new GI Bill made college education accessible for the first time. Home life changed with the advent of modern appliances, including television. Vermonters were able to enjoy leisure activities, and cruising in cars, drive-ins and dance halls became popular pastimes. This film includes footage of the early days at WCAX, Vermont's first TV station, Vermont Life magazine's debut, the early days of ski resorts and more.
