Extra! Extra! Read all about it! It's a birthday celebration in Barre.
It's a big news day!

On March 16, 1912, Barre celebrated a birthday. The local newspaper, The Barre Times, was turning fifteen years old, and there were plenty of reasons to celebrate.

Besides providing the community with valuable news, The Barre Times had become a renowned news source throughout central Vermont. In fact, The Barre Times had the largest circulation of any paper in Vermont other than in the Burlington region, but was even encroaching on those numbers.

Newspapers throughout the state congratulated The Barre Times, wishing them the best of luck as they embarked on their sixteenth year.
