| T he Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont
History is the oldest chartered community history museum in the United States, welcoming visitors and researchers since 1882. It offers lively tours, exhibits and programs to enrich our understanding of Vermont’s past. The Sheldon has three parts: - The Judd-Harris House, built in 1829, showcases a wealth of objects depicting small town life in nineteenth century Vermont.
- The Stewart-Swift Research Center houses one of the state’s premier archival collections, documenting the history of Middlebury, Addison County and Vermont.
- The Walter Cerf Gallery hosts changing exhibits throughout the year.
The Museum sponsors an active calendar of events, an Education Program serving school children in the region and a popular community summer Pops concert.
Researchers please note!
For the week of May 7-11, the Research Center will be closed as the staff installs the new exhibit Take Me to the Fair: An Addison County Tradition.
Starting Tuesday, May 16 and until further notice, the Research Center will be open on Thursdays and Fridays only, 1-5 p.m. or by appointment.
If you plan to do research on a Thursday or Friday, we encourage you to email (eghart@HenrySheldonMuseum.org) or call in advance so that the staff can prepare for your visit.
