Notice: The library is open today! Thursday, Jan. 16, 7- 8 p.m. “Wilmot Geology: Rocks, Sand, and Landforms” Is it really the Granite State? Or is it just a gneiss place to live? Take a deep dive into Wilmot's past with geologist Bill Chaisson, Ph.D., to find out what these rocks and soils are and how they got here. Bill will describe the rock formations underneath and around Wilmot. As a youth, Chaisson spent summers in Danbury and was later inspired by the colorful and varied rock formations of New Hampshire to study the deep past, as expressed in rock formations, sand and mud. Learn the names of the odd rocks in your yard and discover the secrets of rocky New England in this workshop! At left: The Kinsman granodiorite, the igneous rock that underlies most of Wilmot. The large white rectangles are megacrysts of orthoclase feldspar.
