Take time to reflect, experience the peace in a late-autumn forest, or schedule a visit this month. The Museum is open by appointment and for special events from now through April 30.
The trails are open from sunrise to sunset, every day—we recommend using the south trails (Spear, Discovery, Story) rather than Gale’s, Pop’s, or Bob’s, thanks to flooding in July. Trail maps and more information are available on our website, and are posted at the museum and at kiosks as well. (Let us know if the wind moved any!)
=== NOVEMBER EVENTS ===
WINTER HOURS
November 1, 2024 – April 30, 2025
Please make an appointment with us to visit the museum during our “Winter Season”. We’d love to see you. If you can give us several days notice, that helps with our staffing schedule. We’ll still have special events during this time (listed on our website).
Call 802-434-2167 or email museum@birdsofvermont.org to arrange a visit. Admission is always free for members (https://birdsofvermont.org/membership/).
“THE GIFT OF ART” SHOW 2024-2025
November 1 – November 30 • by appointment and during special events
“The Gift of Art” is our off-season art show. This often-changing exhibit displays varied works from previous shows, selections from our gift shop, and elements of our long-term collections. See how art weaves together myriad media, styles, and visions. What’s present in March may be quite different from what we place in November, so consider a repeat visit!
Explore previous themes, find a gift for someone, and celebrate art in our lives.

MUSEUM OPEN FOR SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY
Saturday, November 30 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Drop by to check out The Gift of Art: an art show made up of art given to us and art waiting for the artist to come get it. Have you seen our newest carvings? There are two! Perhaps you’re seeking a holiday present or three? We have a great selection of works by local artists, many of whom exhibited with us. Stroll on the trails or chat with other visitors. A small museum is perfect for a quiet moment after a holiday.
No appointment needed: drop in between 10 and 4.
Members always have free admission.
