What to do and see in Vermont, United States: The Best Libraries

June 6, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

Whether you’re exploring Vermont’s covered bridges, visiting Quechee Gorge or skiing at Killington, you’ll find Vermont to be picture-perfect. If you’re the outdoorsy type, you’ll love Vermont. In winter, of course, there’s plenty of skiing and snowboarding. In the warmer months, however, Vermont offers plenty of opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing and boating. If you enjoy boating, swimming and fishing, a vacation rental on Lake Champlain might be perfect for you.

Charles D. Brainerd Library

The Charles D. Brainard Library in West Danville is the smallest library (11' x 17') in the state of Vermont. Originally built as a gas station in the 1930's, the building was moved around the corner to its current location and served the town as a library during the summers for about 50 years. In 2017, the building was restored, shelves were updated with donated books and the library was reopened. Conveniently located on the Lamoile County Rail Trail (West Danville). Hours are 2pm - 4pm, Monday through Friday, between Memorial Day and Columbus Day. Closed on Holidays. Stop by and visit!

St. Johnsbury Athenaeum

A public library with an art gallery.

Reviewed By Green1Ma

This is the downtown free local library and a museum. The architecture is stunning. The staff is knowledgeable and its fun to be able to explore on your own. Everyone is welcome to sit, read, or just browse the eclectic art. One section of the painting collection is roped off and there is a $5 charge. If you like libraries, history, or art, this is well worth a visit. There is on-street parking, shopping and restaurant nearby.

Vermont Historical Society Museum

Museum of history in Montpelier Vermont.

Reviewed By Andres72423 - Bridgeport, United States

I was not planning to visit the museum but we walked by and decided to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did. The museum takes you on a full history of Vermont from Native American history to colonization, to their efforts in the American Revolution to statehood and beyond. As you begin it starts at a wigwam and as you walk through you are able to get the full story of Vermont. Their displays are excellent with plenty of artifacts which tell a complete story of who, what, where, when, why and how. If I remember correctly we only paid about $7 per adult person and it was worth it. They also have a small gift shop which had some great items to purchase. For the purposes of planning your visit it can take you anywhere from 1-2 hours to see all exhibits, maybe more if you really get into reading all the stories. I highly recommend this Musuem, you won’t be disappointed.
