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.

We're easy to find in downtown Middlebury, Vermont. If you're going south on Main Street, you'll cross the bridge over the Otter Creek. When you see a large cannon on your right (west) just look across Cannon Park and there we are! Take a left (east) after the Mobil station, and you'll find a lot of free municipal parking. From here, you can make a nice walking tour of downtown Middlebury.
