Oral History

U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy has served Vermont for 35 years in the Nation’s Capital — years that have given him a front row seat to innumerable historic events and extraordinary access to the world’s most remarkable leaders and cultural icons. At every opportunity, his camera was close at hand to capture the moment. And now, a personally selected collection of his unique images, entitled “The Eye of Senator Leahy,” will be exhibited at ECHO Lake Aquarium and Science Center, at the Leahy Center for Lake Champlain. The Senator leads attendees on an exclusive guided tour of the exhibition. For additional information on this exhibition please visit echovermont.org
