Doug Weston — Fri, 09 Nov 2012 18:46:12 +0100

This is our display at the Milton function for Veterans this November. There were many displays associated with our Vets and we were excited to be asked to show a small display of our museum.

USS Pueblo Display

Doug Weston — Thu, 01 Nov 2012 19:54:14 +0100

The museum has a wonderful display showing the history of the USS Pueblo. This ship was highjacked by the North Koreans in 1968. The vessel has never been returned to the USA and still sits in North Korea.

The Pueblo was of special interest to Vermont because of the fact that two of the sailors on board were from Vermont. See image three below.

Below you will find a series of pictures that show Marcelino Machinery Corporation laying down a layer of crushed stone around the front of the museum.

Boy Scouts Attend Open House

Doug Weston — Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:44:14 +0100

Below are a series of pictures of several Boy Scout troops who attended a camp out at Camp Johnson on 5/12/12. These scouts took some time to stop by our museum to view the artifacts and some of the history of our Vermont troops.

We sincerely appreciate their interest in the many displays and our volunteer personnel.

The Vermont Military Museum would like to take this opportunity to thank the Vermont State Workers at Camp Johnson for their hours and days of braving the hot sun and other elements to replace the roof on the Museum. Without their hard work, it could have been a cost prohibitive project that would have required extra funding and perhaps years to complete. We are forever grateful to them and to the Administration at Camp Johnson for funding this project. WRead More...
