The Poultney Museum of History and Art came into being after the closing of Green Mountain College. This is a beautiful town surrounded by astounding scenery, local character, and history. The loss of the college caused hardship to local businesses with the end of student’s and their families revenue coming into Poultney and surrounding areas.

This museum is one of many enterprises that wish to fill the void in the absence that the college has left. By bringing local and the America’s history and art to one location, it is calling to incoming tourists, as well as local travelers, to stop and enjoy what these two continent’s have to offer.
