The Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History is the oldest chartered community history museum in the United States.
The Sheldon Museum, the oldest community-based Museum in the country, has welcomed visitors and researchers since 1882. Our mission is to serve the public by preserving the historic memory of Addison County and neighboring communities, heightening the awareness and enjoyment of our rich cultural legacy, and stimulating the study of connections between Vermont’s past and broader historical themes. We offer lively tours, exhibits, and programs to enrich the understanding of Vermont’s past in each of the three main areas of the Museum:
◾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
Public programs at the Sheldon Museum include a popular Holiday Open House, an outdoor Pops Concert in the summer, and many other events throughout the year. View Programs & Events for a full list of upcoming Museum programs.
