Brandon Museum and Visitors Center

Rich in history.

The Brandon Museum and Visitors Center, located at 4 Grove Street (Route 7) next to the Baptist Church, examines local history including industry, business, architecture, tourism, and immigration as well as the anti-slavery movement of the first part of the 19th century and how it grew in one small Vermont town. The story includes the impact of the Civil War on this town and her people. Stephen A. Douglas, one of America’s most prominent 19th century statesmen, was born in this first generation Vermont home in 1802. The museum features stories reflecting the lives and thoughts of some of Brandon’s earliest residents, hundreds of photos and items manufactured in town.

The Brandon Museum is honored to be a featured stop on the State of Vermont's African American Heritage tour.
