Monkton Museum and Historical Society

The Monkton Museum and Historical Society first incorporated in 1976, the year of the nation’s bicentennial. The Monkton Museum and Historical Society (MM&HS) is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization incorporated under the laws of the State of Vermont.

Mission Statement: Monkton Museum & Historical Society is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and displaying items relevant to Monkton’s heritage. We seek to educate and entertain residents, and the interested public, providing insight to Monkton’s past and present for future generations.

The MM&HS has three main purposes. The first is to collect and preserve historical artifacts pertaining to the town of Monkton. Second, to serve as a resource of reliable information for those interested in the history of the town of Monkton. The third purpose is to organize history-centered educational opportunities for the community at large and area students and residents of all ages. To that end, we partner with the Vermont Humanities Council, other area historical societies, local schools, the East Monkton Church Association and the Russell Memorial Library.

MM&HS members meet the third Monday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at the Monkton Town Hall. Guests are always welcome. We also make the meeting available via Zoom for our out-of-town members and guests. In the event of a storm on the Monday meeting day, the meeting is held Tuesday evening. See our website at www.monktonhistory.org for program speakers, projects, and some of the artifacts we have cataloged.

Dues are only $10.00 per person per year. Please consider joining us! For further information or questions, please email MM&HS at: monktonmhs@gmail.com or call 802-482-2277 and leave a message. The mailing address is:
