The Main Street Museum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Main Street Museum was founded in 1992 in an area of White River Junction, Vermont, known as The Old South End.
The Museum, described by the Washington Post as "quirky and avant garde", is an eclectic display space for material culture and an experiment in a new taxonomy. A wide assortment of artists, historians, scientists, drunks and all other types of people were drawn to the Museum's quirky demonstrations of electromagnetism devices, relics from the great railroad head injury of Phineas Gage, Elvis impersonators, live music, biological anomalies and postcard collections. It simultaneously pays homage to the eighteenth century cabinet of curiosities ("Wünderkammern") and a focal point of new technology through its website.
Currently located at White River Junction's former fire station on Bridge Street, next to the underpass, the museum is an integral part of White River Junction's downtown revitalization and the new urbanism of the region.
