On January 15, 1885, a Jericho farmer by the name of Wilson Bentley became one of the first persons in the world to photograph a single snow crystal. He would take pictures of over 5,000 snowflakes in his lifetime, a feat that would earn him the name of "Snowflake" Bentley.

Vermont Edition talked with Wayne Howe, archivist for the Jericho Historical Society about Bentley’s imprint on history.
