About Stowe Historical Society Museum

The Stowe Historical Society keeps records, photographs, postcards, books, and everyday objects that document the town's past. Its main displays sit in the West Branch and Bloody Brook schoolhouses on School Street, and a military collection is kept in the Soldiers Memorial Building on Main Street. The society was founded in 1956 with help from the Vermont Historical Society and is run entirely by volunteers. Visitors can come during posted afternoon hours or arrange another time by appointment.
