The Horace Greeley Foundation

In its 15th year of offering the writers' symposium, the non-profit Horace Greeley Foundation, funded through donations and proceeds from Symposium fees, is dedicated to promoting the writer's trade and the spirit of public oration that was central to Greeley's life.

What is perhaps equally central to our mission is preserving the sense of place and memory of life in a small New England village. Each year, we meet in those places where Greeley lived, worked, debated and voraciously read the books and journals that fed his intellectual curiosity.

This year's symposium will be held on Saturday, October 21st, 2017 at the United Baptist Church in East Poultney, VT from 9am-5pm. Speakers include Marilyn Johnston (Keynote), Joni Cole, Jackie Gordon, and Laird Christensen. For more information check out our symposium brochures below.
