| The 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 concert by the Vermont Symphony Orchestra. Antiques Auction at Glen Dale Farm Proceeds to benefit the Henry Sheldon Museum
