Old Stone House Museum
Run by the Orleans County Historical Society in Brownington, Vermont, the Old Stone House Museum was once a student dormitory before it became part of the Brownington Village Historic District, a district of ten historic buildings added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It was built in 1836 by Alexander Twilight, the first African American to graduate from college in the U.S. in 1823 and the first African American to serve in a state legislature. Consisting of 22 rooms of exhibits across four floors, Twilight’s home has been a museum for years since 1925.
