    For anyone who is doing a genealogy, exploring your roots trip this is a great stop. Easy to get thru quickily and well done.

    Great for the rock hound that wants to learn the different marbles and the history of the marble industry in Vermont.

    Norman Rockwell Museum of Vermont - Norman's works around the room in chrono order

    Love this place! What a gem! Would go back anytime. Beautiful grounds and a great gift shop.read more

    Info overload on a self-guided treasure hunt…read more The museum is just off the road a really sharp turn off that goes over a steel mini bridge. Slow down as you approach it. The building has seen better days, both inside and out. If you're a Norman Rockwell fan this has an unimaginable collection of his works, including a souvenir area that has reproductions, plates with his drawings, and another room with even more of his works! Your tour beings right after you enter on your immediate right and is set up in chronological order from his earliest years to later in life. You work your way around a large room and there are works in the middle of the room as well. Amazing how many pieces he created in the span of his life. I believe the location has about 2,000 pieces of his works on display. In every section, there is one index card pointing out a factoid. From the looks of it and the fact the text on the faded yellowing index card it looks with the type that appears to be created on a manual typewriter in serif fonts, this stuff is certainly due for an upgrade. The text could be larger, have more contrast, and passages in some cases shorter with more descriptions throughout the displays. At $7.50 per adult, you go through this space in perhaps 30 minutes. It does not appear to be ADA compliant. No restroom. Dirt or gravel parking lot out front and to the right of the building. There is another museum in the Arlinglington area where Norman lived for a bit and visited with Grandma Mosses. It is much smaller, is free, and provides a better layout although just as dilapidated. So, if you are a Norman Rockwell fan and you're near Rutland it may be worth the peek. There is so much to take in you really have to pick and choose which ones you want to zoom in on. Unfortunately, the only way you would pick is visual vs content because there just isn't a whole lot of easy quick to read nuggets throughout. Enjoy! Carson

    Located alongside US-7 just north of Pittsford, this marker points out some of the early industrial…read morehistory of the town that is no longer. There is parking nearby so that you can read the sign. On the front, "In 1791, Israel Keith built an iron blast furnace two miles east of here, adjacent to what is now Furnace Brook. Materials for the smelting process included iron ore, manganese, and charcoal from Chittenden, with limestone flux from Pittsford. In 1826, Simeon Granger & Sons purchased the furnace from Keith's successor, Nathan Gibbs. The furnace was rebuilt after a fire and in 1829, the Grangers erected a foundry nearby. Worker housing, a company store, school, and the Granger family's brick house surrounded the foundry to form the village of Grangerville." And on the rear, "At its peak, the Granger foundry produced 300 tons of cast iron stoves a year for kitchens, laundries, parlors, and bedrooms, which were shipped across the eastern seaboard. They also produced kettles, griddles, basins, flatirons, and door hardware. Later owners included C. & E.L. Granger; Granger, Hodges & Co.; Pittsford Iron Co.; Vermont Iron Co.; and Jeremiah Pritchard. Under Pritchard, sixty men were employed at the furnace, foundry, mines and charcoal kilns. As local resources were depleted, iron ore from eastern New York was shipped by rail to Pittsford. In 1882, operations ceased and Vermont's last operating iron furnace closed. Several stoves are in the collection of the Pittsford Historical Society Museum." The marker was erected in 2016 by the Vermont Division of Historic Preservation.
