We did a tour with Steve and he was fabulous. He engaged my kids at their levels (not an easy task when they range in age from 5-11). They were so excited to learn about the syrup-making process, the survival of the sugar maple, the balance of nature and the history. My daughter came away asking to walk in the woods and listen for the "song" of the sap dripping into the buckets. It was truly a magical experience for them. The syrup tasting at the end was so educational for the kids. They came away appreciating the difference in the taste of syrup at different times in the season and an understanding of the "why" behind the different tastes. I would highly recommend a visit.

The Charles D. Brainard Library in West Danville is the smallest library (11' x 17') in the state of Vermont. Originally built as a gas station in the 1930's, the building was moved around the corner to its current location and served the town as a library during the summers for about 50 years. In 2017, the building was restored, shelves were updated with donated books and the library was reopened. Conveniently located on the Lamoile County Rail Trail (West Danville). Hours are 2pm - 4pm, Monday through Friday, between Memorial Day and Columbus Day. Closed on Holidays. Stop by and visit!
8. Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 166 reviews
An inspired, eclectic collection that started as a "cabinet of curiosities" during the Victorian era. Displays include taxidermy, shells, tools, mummies, and artifacts from around the world. Don't miss John Hampson's "Bug Art" -- mosaics made entirely of beetles and moths -- and the seasonal native butterfly house (in the summer). Home to Vermont's only public planetarium (temporarily closed due to COVID19) and the Eye on the Sky weather center.

As always the Fairbanks Museum has something for all ages....fantastic collections in “Smithsoneum” level displays. The architecture of the building inside and out make it worth the trip! Oh and the planetarium is well worth a visit, especially with children, pretty awesome! I have been going here for over 50 years and it never gets old!

A public library with an art gallery.
Reviewed By Green1Ma
This is the downtown free local library and a museum. The architecture is stunning. The staff is knowledgeable and its fun to be able to explore on your own. Everyone is welcome to sit, read, or just browse the eclectic art. One section of the painting collection is roped off and there is a $5 charge. If you like libraries, history, or art, this is well worth a visit. There is on-street parking, shopping and restaurant nearby.

A barn-museum crammed with huge paper-mache puppets, masks, sculpture and bas-reliefs.
Reviewed By 1601expert
The huge barns store an amazing collection of puppets and models used for the company's performances. Begun with an anti-Vietnam war production, the collection of performances encompasses and addresses many of the injustices of the world with huge puppets. Really impressive, really interesting and with an open door and honest box, it is just so Vermont. Go there!
