By Susanne Rappaport
with Nellie Bushee and Ella Clark

When renowned photographer Neil Rappaport died suddenly in 1998, he left behind thousands of images of Pawlet, Vermont, including those he called a “visual census” of the town. Here, his spouse Susanne has assembled some of the best of them and juxtaposed them with historical photographs of Pawlet to show how a small town changes and offer illumination to the rest of us.
