FREE, EDUCATIONAL AND UNUSUAL EXHIBIT
You won't find another one down the road! From New England dinosaur tracks to extinct bison horns, the small but mighty Room of Curiosities is packed with strange treasures. Fossilized animal teeth, ashes from Mt. St. Helens, mineral specimens from more than 20 countries. To satisfy your curiosity, we strive to label as much as we can. This room is also home to our local history exhibit. We've got a miniature model sugarhouse, art carved by animals, and more old stuff than you can shake a stick at! Come find out why Boston magazine called us "Quirky!"

We are located only 10 miles from the world’s oldest exposed fossil reef, which is nearly half a billion years old!

Meet Peter Thomas, our “pet” rock! You’ve got to touch it to believe it!

Find out why the official Vermont state fossil is a Beluga Whale even though we are the only New England state without a sea coast!
