Northfield's Town Meeting Day Baked Beans (VPR)

From Vermont Public Radio:

"Good old baked beans were and still are the staple of many town meetings, and this one from the Northfield Ladies of the Congregational Church would most likely have been used at their Town Meeting. The Northfield Cookbook was produced in the early 1900s, with inscriptions on the title page by Mrs W W Thomas in 1916, and then by Mrs B W Thomas in 1931 and finally by Elsie Thomas, no date. It is a well-worn, much-used recipe book that now resides in the collections of the Vermont Historical Societys Library in Barre."
