Vermont Historical Society Museum

This is a neat little museum in the capital city of Vermont! The displays cover virtually every topic in the state of Vermont's history. Some of the displays are setup with kids in mind. Many of the displays are well researched and have much reading material with them. Excellent artifacts and visuals in the museum. You could easily spend an hour or more in here. Price for entry is only $7. Definitely worth a visit.

Compact, engaging full history of Vermont and the events and folks that shaped our present day life. Touch and see on one level. Kid friendly, quiet and approachable, roll/walk-through exhibits. Nice way to enlighten, for $7 admission. Small gift shop has something relevant at every price point too; books, posters, toys, and more. On-street parking right out front, right next to the Capital.

We had a great time here. We did have some trouble understanding where to park but the lady at the desk was super helpful. She was also very kind and friendly and gave us a brief preview of the museum. If you are in the Montpelier downtown, come and visit and also support Vermont history.

We visited this museum on our trip. The gift shop was very small!

As an flatlander, out of state person, I thought the museum gave a great overview of VT over nearly a 400 year period. The displays were professional and the signage’s sufficient to understand what is to be interpreted. I would recommend for all ages.

Very good compact historical museum. The Native American story is well remembered; their clothing, well preserved and authentic. If in Montpelier, put this on your top 10 MD.

It's al'righ. Not worth a special trip, but if you are in town and you have some time to kill it's worth the 8 bucks and your time. A couple of days removed from my visit and nothing really sticks out in my mind as memorable.

This museum offers many interesting facts and artifacts about Vermont but collectively needs to be reimagined for today’s visitors. Newer installations and probably rotating the permanent collections would help but would require generous financial support. History buffs, nonetheless, would be delighted.
