Vermont Marble Museum

The Vermont Marble Museum occupies a wing of the former Vermont Marble Company factory and displays geological samples and industrial machinery. The exhibits feature marble samples, geological displays, and an artificial cave system that shows visitors how stone was extracted and processed.

The Vermont Marble Company was founded in 1880 and supplied marble for major buildings including the United States Supreme Court. The company grew into one of the nation's leading marble suppliers and shaped the region's development for generations.

The museum displays marble sculptures and busts that reflect the craftsmanship of regional stone workers. These works show how local artisans mastered the material over many decades.

Visitors can take self-guided tours through exhibits featuring marble samples, geological displays, and an artificial cave system. Wear comfortable shoes as you walk through various exhibit areas and descend into the artificial cave.

The museum holds one of the world's largest collections of marble and stone artifacts from quarries around the globe. This diversity offers a rare chance to see how different marble types and their qualities were used by craftspeople in America.
