Our visitors and community members engage in an impressive range of activities from our Kids’ Friday program to Time Traveler’s Day Camp and our tours of the museum’s historic collections to our many community events and adult enrichment classes.

We are tasked with saving and sharing the significant stories of African American Alexander Lucius Twilight and those of the people of Orleans County and Northern Vermont; this includes the preservation of seven buildings and sixty acres of historic significance in Brownington, Vermont.

At the Old Stone House Museum & Historic Village we are dedicated to preserving the history of our community—caring for resources that exist nowhere else and telling the story of northern Vermont. We believe history matters, that it has the power to ignite imagination, provoke conversation, and build a dynamic cultural hub for our community. 

History engages critical thinking skills. It encourages us to read and listen carefully, analyze evidence, and to evaluate sources for trustworthiness and accuracy. It teaches us where information is stored, how it is found and accessed, and that history is ever changing. One of the most exciting things about our work is discovering something new that we didn’t know before! Like detectives, we piece together clues found in the pages, photographs, oral histories, textiles, and artifacts in our historic collections, forming fuller stories that include multiple perspectives. 

We believe history can—and should—be used to move us forward. Through history, we can better understand where we have been, where we are now, and how we can do better. Your gift helps us study the past in pursuit of a more just future.
