Explore Vermont's Past!

The past is an adventure. The past has secrets to tell us. Exploring our history is rewarding, opening the doors of discovery to learning, sometimes even uncovering secrets or finding clues to a lost past.. Discovering who our forbears were—what they ate, where they worked, the trials they endured, how they played—is invaluable to us as we make our way through our own time, because it gives us perspective. This section offers numerous opportunities for teachers and students alike to reconnect with the past, to marvel at the way things were, and to ponder history’s lessons with an eye to the future. 

The Vermont History Museum features a replica of an early Abenaki wigwam!
