Vermont Historical Society Museum (Montpelier, Vermont)

The VHS museum is located on the first floor of the Pavilion Building at 109 State Street next door to the Vermont State House in Montpelier. The VHS offices and library are located in nearby Barre, Vermont. We have a list of places to stay in Barre, Berlin, and Montpelier.

Parking is in metered places along the street or in public parking lots in downtown. We are in the brick building with two-story porches on State Street opposite Taylor Street. The side and back doors (along Gov. Davis Avenue) are handicapped accessible; restrooms are just inside our front door.
