The Nature Museum

Starting your tour in the Village Parking lot will lead you to the Nature Museum at Grafton, directly across the street. The Museum is a regional resource for nature, science, and environmental education in Vermont and New Hampshire communities of the Connecticut River Valley.

Looking up, you'll note that the building was originally the Grange. In 1940, the building was moved from its original location on Main Street to its present home on Townshend Road by Cushman and Sons. It was quite the feat at the time.

The Museum is surrounded by beautiful gardens filled with native plants, ponds, and picnic tables. Behind the Museum are playscape and the trails of the Village Park, a wooded trail system where visitors can amble through the forest. Trail maps are available at the Museum.
