Mont Vernon Historical Society

The Mont Vernon Historical Society is an independent volunteer organization to promote the study of the town's history, and to preserve and display items from our history in the town museum. Founded in 1975, it gets no taxpayer money.

The museum, library, office and storage space are located in the upstairs of Town Hall on Main Street.

Business meetings are held on the 1st Tuesday of most months at 7 p.m in Town Hall. Consider joining: It's only $20 per year or $200 for life membership - just $2 a year for those 18 and under.
