The Nature Museum at Grafton is a member-based non-profit organization founded in 1989 in southeastern Vermont. Our work is funded by member donations, an annual fund appeal, grants, and fundraising events to help us provide the best, most interesting, hands-on, and environmentally relevant programs for children, teens, and adults. By using learning through participation as its focus, the Museum provides a rich variety of engaging exhibits, school and library programs, outdoor field trips, camps, and adult educational programs.
These offerings help the Museum support its ambitious Mission statement, created in 2009.
The Nature Museum is a regional resource for nature, science, and environmental education in the Vermont and New Hampshire communities of the Connecticut River Valley. The Museum provides information and experiences which engage and enlighten its audiences and inspire stewardship of the natural world.
Through our varied educational programming and our ever-evolving exhibit spaces, in 2009 the Museum served the greater community with over 425 Education Programs for teachers, schools, libraries, and the public. The Museum building and its satellite facility at the Fish Ladder Watershed Visitor Center in Bellows Falls hosted over 2,500 people, and the Museum served over 11,600 people all together.
Please help Support the Museum and our great Educational Programs and Camps by donating today!
