Collection: Main Street Museum

Located in central Vermont, The Main Street Museum is a small, volunteer run, nonprofit venue and public collection of curiosities. The museum is a repository of artifacts - each one significant. Each one tells some kind of story about human beings and the complex, sometimes baffling universe of which we are a part. 

The aim of the museum is the study of an accumulation of small details, cultivating among both specialists, and among the general public, a sense of wonder at the big questions that arise when we study and categorize objects and our reactions to them. We believe that our relationships with objects are more complex than usually acknowledged—indeed sometimes far more complex.

The Main Street Museum is also a gathering place and venue for people and performances that might not find a round hole in a square peg universe. The Main Stage at the Museum features a newly restored player piano and the sound and lights are maintained by charming volunteers. We highlight local musicians, authors and artists. Our deck looks over the (usually) agreeable waters of the White River and our bonfire site; the scene of our sing-alongs, Hootenanny's, Pan-Slavic Festival and Annual Tree Burn .
