Spice up your Vermont fall with these 30 arts and entertainment events in September
So many people decry the end of summer, but if you think about it, we love celebrating everything a Vermont fall has to offer.
The air is crisp, and the leaves start to turn all sorts of shades. Soups soothe the soul. Scads of shoppers make a beeline for any place offering pumpkin spice-flavored coffee or scones or ceiling tiles or whatever product you can or can’t imagine.
The cusp of fall is also a great time for the arts. Theater companies kick off new seasons. Concerts happen indoors and outdoors. (You’ll find some of the latter at the tail end of our summer concert preview.) Comedians welcome the darkening days with lightening humor.
OK, September actually begins with three weeks of summer; that’s a fair point. But the month heralds a busy season that gets fans of arts and entertainment especially excited. Here are 30 events that don’t need pumpkin spice to spice up your days and nights.

Vermont’s oldest museum opened almost 150 years ago. How to visit

Looking for a new museum to visit this winter?
As a historic state with European settlements going all the way back to the 1600s, Vermont is home to many historical museums dedicated to preserving the state’s foundational role in United States history.
In fact, the state’s oldest museum dates all the way back to 1884, making it almost 150 years old. Originally founded from a personal collection, Henry Sheldon Museum is not only the oldest museum in Vermont, but also the oldest community-based museum in the whole country.
Here’s a brief history of the oldest museum in Vermont, as well as how to visit.
History of Henry Sheldon Museum
According to the museum’s website, Henry Sheldon Museum was founded by its namesake, Henry Sheldon. A local businessman and avid collector, Sheldon turned his personal collection of furniture, paintings, documents, household objects and artifacts into a museum, which opened to the public in July of 1884, says the Vermont Historical Society.
The museum’s collection has expanded greatly since then and still continues to grow. Today, the Sheldon aims to help community members gain a deeper appreciation of Vermont’s local art and history through engaging art and history exhibits, programs, events and an extensive archival collection at the museum’s research center.
This spring’s upcoming feature exhibit will focus on the idea of time, displaying the museum’s collection of timepieces like clocks, watches, calendars, journals, time capsules and more.
How to visit Vermont’s oldest museum
Want to explore Vermont history and art at the oldest museum in the state? Henry Sheldon Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday throguh Saturday.
Admission costs $10 for adults or $5 for seniors, with free admission for members, students and children ages 18 and under. Appointments to visit the museum’s research center must be made by emailing archives@henrysheldonmuseum.org.
Henry Sheldon Museum is located at 1 Park St. in Middlebury.
