 ==What We Are and What We Do==
-The Main Street Museum is a small, public collection of curiosities and artifacts, each one is significant and each one tells some kind of story about human beings and the complex, sometimes baffling universe we are a part of. The aim of the Museum is the study of an accumulation of small details, cultivating among both specialists, and among the general public, a sense of wonder at the big questions that arise when we study and categorize objects and our reactions to them. We believe that our relationships with objects are more complex than usually acknowledged; indeed sometimes far more complex.

 Located in central Vermont, our collections are accessible by visiting us in person, or through our online [[Catawiki|"wiki" style catalog]]. At present we are open only by appointment, however. As well as studying and cataloging objects we present live music, glass lantern slide presentations, vaudeville shows, films and ''Spectacles'' to the public.
