Yankee and French Canadian music and storytelling helped develop the folk culture in VT.
In early America, time was a valued commodity for those who settled in Vermont -- for the climate and terrain defied them to succeed. Yet many overcame these obstacles by sharing their hardships as well as their joys, and nowhere is this more evident than their ability to entertain themselves through music and storytelling. Yankee and the French Canadian traditions develop the folk culture of VT.
