We invite you to contact us if you are interested in adding a short article about Montpelier history to our blog. We also encourage you to share photos.

Welcome to the new Montpelier Vermont Historical Society website. We are a group of people committed to resurrecting the Society in a new and innovative form in order to share and collaborate with everyone interested in Montpelier’s fascinating past, no matter where you live. Some of us were born in Montpelier, some have ancestors who lived here, and some of us are more recent arrivals. We all want to share in the work of making Montpelier’s history more accessible to everyone.

There are several ways to communicate with other history lovers in the area. Suggested Facebook Groups are Montpelier Vermont History, Montpelier Memories, Berlin, Vermont Memories and Burlington Area History. There are many other neighboring towns with Facebook Groups.

The mission of the Montpelier Vermont Historical Society is to enhance the public’s understanding of Montpelier’s heritage through the research, interpretation, and sharing of its rich historical past.

ATTENTION!

Cataloging information on a portion of the historical society’s artifact, photograph, and printed collections is now available at this link:  online . Cataloging is an on-going project for us, so this database is sure to grow over time. 

We are also hoping to find a donated heated space to use for storage and possibly meetings. Our collections are now located in three places and we need to consolidate in one, environmentally safe space. Please let us know if you have any ideas about space we might be able to use for free or for a small fee.
