Plenty of history on the marble industry in Vermont- the hall of presidents is great and a luxury ladies room all in marble

Visited this museum while traveling through Vermont on vacation. This lovely, interesting museum features a great deal of information on marble. You can begin your tour with a film in the theater regarding the history of marble mining in Vermont. I was especially enthralled with the Hall of Presidents where past presidents have been hand carved in bas relief and... More

This museum is way out in the sticks, but was well worth the visit. The exhibits are very interesting. There are things the kids will enjoy. Watching and talking to the sculptor was fun. You can buy original works of art at very reasonable prices.

A very informative exhibit. The best part is they have rolled back their admission price to $1 and have reduced the price of a number of items in the museum shop too. We did not get to see the marble artisan at work which was disappointing.

Thank you for visiting! The $1 Adult admission is good through July - so there's a few more weeks left. I am sorry you missed Allen Dwight, our sculptor - for other visitors information, he is at lunch daily from 12 - 1. We will be running specials (in the gift shop too) for the rest of the season, so... More

A very interesting museum! It offers a look into the history of the marble industry in Vermont, which provided the huge block of marble used for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The exhibits include a room with marble bas-relief sculptures of all the presidents (through Bush). The museum also informs about the chemistry and geology of marble, and contains... More

Beautiful displays. I especially enjoyed the ocean room, dinosaur, and lovely chapel. I was stunned to realize people actually consume marble byproducts (calcium carbonate). Museum and gift shop are impressive. Marble bridge (and nearby buildings) are amazing.

I liked that the museum was inside a portion of the old mill, but done over well to have a museum quality atmosphere with raw portions of the old interior. The staff was very pleasant and helpful. If you are near Rutland VT, it's worth the time to go see. 1-2 hours is all you need. They will encourage you... More

Our family also found this exhibit or museum was surprisingly fun and educational. (We just remodel the kitchen with granite and marble so it make sense to see where they came from.) At the entrance there is a nice marble garden. Check it out before you go in.There is a beautiful galleries of marble sculptures and a a good film... More
