Vermont Historical Society
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Vermont Historical Society (VHS) was founded in 1836 to preserve and record the history and culture of the U.S. state of Vermont. Headquartered in the Pavilion at Montpelier, the society operates the Vermont History Museum there, and the Vermont History Center and Library in nearby Barre. The society was incorporated in 1838.

Our purpose is to reach a broad audience through our outstanding collections, statewide outreach, and dynamic programming. We believe that an understanding of the past changes lives and builds better communities."
