PROJECTS AT MONTPELIER

The Montpelier Museum Programs Division is constantly undertaking research, preservation, and interpretative projects across the property. These projects result in a better understanding of the past through historical, architectural, and archaeological research, through the interpretation of the lives of people who lived in the past, the spaces they occupied, the objects they owned, and the landscape of Montpelier, and with the engagement of our colleagues and stakeholders in the many ways to conduct this scholarship and present it to the public. Below, you can sift through the many different projects developed at Montpelier.
