Welcome to the Brattleboro Community Brain Trust
The Brattleboro Community Brain Trust is an encyclopedia-like, online Brattleboro reference that is edited by the citizens of Brattleboro. You can help by adding reliable, sourced material. You must register to participate, and we strongly encourage the use of real names for this project. Take credit for your good work!
Registered users can add information and edit pages.
Whereas iBrattleboro is good for breaking news, the Brattleboro Community Brain Trust is for information that changes more slowly (Town government), or very little (history).
BCBT is a project associated with iBrattleboro.com and administered by MuseArts.
