The cultural heart of the town of St Johnsbury, the St Johnsbury Athenaeum is a historic library and art gallery that was established by the Fairbanks family in the late 1800s. The art collection remains much the same as it was in the 19th century, providing a fascinating look back in time, and it features Victorian pencil sketches and Hudson River School landscape paintings. Admission is free, and the center is open to visitors Monday through Saturday. Several times a month, there are family-friendly events like arts and crafts programs, creative writing workshops, and story time for young children.
