The Brattleboro Historical Society showcases its vast and varied collection of artifacts at the downtown History Center and Museum. Since its founding in 1982, BHS has worked to shelter and share locally significant facts and artifacts so present and future generations can learn from the past.

The History Center and Museum gives Brattleboro residents, businesses, and organizations the opportunity to explore their local heritage and add to the variety and vitality of downtown by collaborating on permanent and changing exhibits, public talks, workshops, and other programs.

Brattleboro-related books, postcards, posters, photos, maps, and tag sale items are available in the gift shop.
