Nestled in the mountains of southern Vermont, Grafton is one of New England’s prettiest villages. Many of its beautiful and historic buildings have been restored by its residents and by the Windham Foundation, so the town today looks much as it did years ago

CAMP FACILITIES: Open to the public since 1989, The Nature Museum at Grafton focuses on the region’s plants, animals, and geology. Hands-on exhibits, dioramas, and mounted specimens engage learners of all ages and connect visitors to the natural world in New England.

Visitors can crawl through an underground bear den; dig for fossils; find out about bats, bees, and catamounts; and learn about animal adaptations by dressing up as their favorite creature.

Outdoors, wander in our wildlife garden and catch a glimpse of passing butterflies and our resident honeybees out collecting nectar.

​Take a hike through the maple, oak, beech, and birch forest in the Village Park behind the Museum. Visit "the cave," a historic rock structure created in the early 1900s. The three Village Park trails offer easy to moderate hiking.

There are picnic tables in the Museum's backyard as well as several picnic areas and gazebos along the Village Park trails.

This five-hour vacation camp for Brave Bears, younger adventurers aged 6 to 9, will be led by The Nature Museum's experienced and energized environmental educators. We'll start the day by learning tracking skills inside, and then we'll embark on a snowshoeing adventure in forests and fields to identify tracks and prints left by our furry and feathered friends. The Brave Bears will also help build a campfire as a magical coming together at the end of the day. It will be an opportunity to enjoy each other's company, to make music and laughter together, and to sit huddled up around the leaping flames and enjoy some hot chocolate and a fireside snack.
