About The Main Street Museum

The Main Street Museum in White River Junction, Vermont, is built to resemble an 18th or 19th century cabinet of curiosities. Its displays feature offbeat objects such as miniature shoes, unused keys, and hair locks from former presidents. The building also serves as an event space that hosts drag shows, concerts, poetry readings, and exhibitions by local artists. The museum is run entirely by volunteers as a nonprofit organization, and visitors can see it on tours that are arranged in advance or at its regular weekly nights.
