History of Bocce
Bocce is one of the world’s oldest known lawn games, with a history that stretches back thousands of years. Versions of bocce were played as early as 5ooo BC in ancient civilizations, where people rolled rounded stories or carved balls toward a target. Evidence suggests similar games existed in Egypt and the Middle East before spreading throughout the Mediterranean.
The game became especially popular in the Roman Empire. Roman soldiers played it during downtime, using carved stones or coconuts, and helped spread the game across Europe. The Roman name bottia, meaning balls us believed to be the root of the modern word bocce.
Modern bocce took shape in Italy during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. It became a favorite pastime for people of all social classes. Today bocce is played worldwide as both a casual social activity and a competitive sport. It’s enduring appeal comes from it’s simplicity: easy to learn, playable by all ages, and perfect for relaxed outdoor fun.

The Arnold Zlotoff Tool Museum
2026-05-30 10:00 - 16:00
The Arnold Zlotoff Tool Museum collection includes 3,000 pieces originating from the colonial period in the Northeastern United States. The collection encompasses a vast variety of trades, industries, and applications. It was effectively the result of the passion of one man, Arnold Zlotoff.
Arnold was a New York City school teacher of Industrial Arts and a skilled mechanic, thereby developing his interest in tools. He was impressed by the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the early Americans, many of whom fashioned tools themselves. Others would collaborate with local blacksmiths, who would serve as tool makers. He began collecting in the late 1940s, when he returned to study teaching, after serving two years in the United States Army.
He continued to collect into the early 1980’s, when the space limitations of his residence prohibited further acquisitions. Various options were discussed as to the ultimate disposition of the collection amongst him and his sons. Just prior to his death he elected to keep the collection intact and leave it to his eldest son to determine its future.
The family encountered the opportunity to purchase and rebuild a 19th-century barn to create the Arnold Zlotoff Tool Museum. It is now in place with the tools fully displayed in South Hero, Vermont, on beautiful Lake Champlain.
