Welcome to the Nature Museum at Grafton- where we inspire respect, understanding and delight in the natural world.

The Nature Museum

The Nature Museum is a dynamic and educational place to visit. We also sponsor many off-site, naturalist-led public programs and teach classes in schools and libraries across the region.

Walking trails, and the wildlife garden are open year round. Maps and trail guides are available at the Nature Museum, at Mack's Place, or at the Trail Head of the Village Park Trails.

We invite you to open the door to Vermont's natural beauty!
