Vermont History Museum

The award-winning Freedom and Unity exhibit presents a compelling history of the state from the first inhabitants to the present. Visitors walk through time and experience a full-sized Abenaki wigwam, a re-creation of the Catamount Tavern where Ethan Allen's Green Mountain Boys gathered, a railroad station complete with a working telegraph and a World War II era living room furnished with period music and magazines. Stop at the museum photo booth to add yourself to Vermont's story.

Exhibits

Visitors can explore a chronological history of Vermont in the "Freedom & Unity" exhibit and visit the special exhibit "A New American Globe." The Local History Gallery features the exhibit "The Common Cracker" which explores an appetizing piece of Vermont's history, culture through food.
