Museums

 (Charlotte): One of the largest African American owned farms in Vermont. “148 acre property focused on celebrating African American heritage, arts and sciences, and multiculturalism.” A piece of true Vermont history owned by Lydia and Jack Clemmons since 1962. Plans are currently underway to transform the space into an African American Heritage and Multicultural Center and in the meantime, the property hosts various events to “foster a loving and dynamic multicultural community."

 (Burlington): Vermont's science and nature museum on the waterfront educates and delights people about the ecology, culture, history, and opportunities for stewardship of the Lake Champlain Basin.

 (Middlebury): “Oldest community based Museum in the country. Preserves the historic memory of Addison County and neighboring communities as well as stimulating the study of connections between Vermont’s past and broader historical themes.” Open year round with the exception of a few weeks in the winter.

Fleming Museum of Art (Burlington): Located on the campus of ����̽̽, the Fleming is being reimagined to become an anti-racist museum that is more responsive, relevant, and inclusive. The foundations of this work lie in amplifying the perspectives of Black, Indigenous, and people of color who have been excluded—implicitly and explicitly—from the Museum.

 (Shelburne)
The National Museum of the Morgan Horse is dedicated to preserving and interpreting all aspects of the Morgan horse breed through educational programs, exhibits and special events through educational programs, exhibits and special events.

 (Ferrisburgh): Perched on a hill overlooking the Champlain Valley, Rokeby Museum provides an intimate record of two centuries of Vermont family life and agriculture. The house and farm nurtured and survived the growing up and growing old of four generations of Robinsons—a remarkable family of Quakers, farmers, abolitionists, authors, and artists.

 (Shelburne): Spanning some 45 acres and featuring 37 buildings, the Shelburne Museum preserves New England's proud, pre-industrial traditions.
