..The
Southern Vermont Natural History Museum is located on the top of Hogback Mountain
in
Marlboro, Vermont, the southern foothills of the scenic Green Mountains.
Perched on an overlook with views into Massachusetts and New Hampshire,
on a clear day the horizon is 100 miles away.
Among
the exhibits featured at the Museum are mounted specimens of over 600
native
New England birds and mammals in 100 small dioramas, one of the largest
collections of its
type in the Northeast. Many of these wild animal specimens were collected
by
Luman Nelson between 1900 and 1962.
Also
see live hawks and owls, and learn about the natural history of these
beautiful and fascinating raptors.
Enjoy
our wildflower exhibit summer and fall. Learn about Vermont wetland
inhabitants through our amphibian and reptile exhibit. See unusual specimens
including
albino mammals and extinct birds.
Enjoy a hike up nearby Mt. Olga for a breathtaking view of the northern New England Mountains.
The Hogback Mountain Gift Shop and the Skyline Restaurant are located next door.
