Join us Sunday, August 14 at 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM for our signature event, Old Stone House Day 2022. For almost a century, this event has brought people from all over New England together. There will be live music, games and fun for families with children, heritage arts, museum open house, pie auction, artists and craft vendor market.
This year’s theme of “Modern Art Animates Historic Grounds” spotlights our Open for Interpretation art project that has brought four talented Vermont artists to The Old Stone House Museum & Historic Village. These artists have each created amazing pieces that will be unveiled on Old Stone House Day. At specific times throughout the day, you can meet the artists and see performances of their work.
Museum members enter totally FREE while there is a $15 per vehicle admission price the day of the event for everyone else regardless of where you live. Purchase an early bird ticket today and save $5 on your admission price.
