The Orleans County Historical Society Museum is located in the small town of Brownington, Vermont. The museum is housed in a beautiful brick building dating back to the 1830s, which was originally a dormitory for the Orleans County Grammar School.

The exhibits cover a wide range of topics, including agriculture, industry, transportation, and education.

The museum is open from May to October, and admission is free. Guided tours are available, and there is a gift shop where visitors can buy books, souvenirs, and local crafts.
