About

Northern New England's museum of Natural History

Story

Founded in 1891 based on a Victorian "cabinet of curiosities" collected by Franklin Fairbanks, the Fairbanks Museum inspires wonder and curiosity about our natural world. With an eclectic collection of animals and artifacts, shells and fossils, meteorites and meteorology, plus much more! Home to the SunCommon Eye on the Sky Weather Center and the Lyman Spitzer Jr. Planetarium, Vermont's only public planetarium. All this under the triumphant arch of our classic Victorian building, a cornerstone of St. Johnsbury's Historic Main Street District.

Impressive assortment of taxidermied mammals, reptiles, and birds on the main hall. A separate section features interactive science experiments fun for kids and adults. The second floor of their main hall features a varied collection of cultural pieces.

This museum is free for local residents and moderately priced for anyone from out of town. Interesting exhibits, fun gift shop, and a planetarium at certain times of the year. There are special programs in the summer that are geared for children and a play space out back but is often filled with interesting exhibits or animals.

Great little museum with eclectic collection. New exhibits just unveiled. Recommended although quite small.
