The
Southern Vermont Natural History Museum is located at the Hogback Mountain Scenic
Overlook on Route 9
in
Marlboro, Vermont, in 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. Most of these wild animal specimens were collected
by
Luman Ranger Nelson, a noted New England taxidermist, in the early part of the century. The
specimens are in extraordinarily good condition for their age.
Also
see a live hawk and owls in our raptor center, and learn about the natural history of these
beautiful and fascinating birds.
The Hogback Mountain Gift Shop is located next door.
