Home of Snowflake Bentley’s exhibit. I normally do not read captions at museums but I read almost every one of them. The miraculous work of taking a photo of a snowflake before it melts in 7 seconds on a microscope camera! Since we have been fascinated by his work for almost 20 years, seeing an exhibit dedicated to this little known genius. His appreciation of his mother was quite touching. The highlight of the exhibit was seeing a cross in the exhibit which confirmed his faiths in our Lord Jesus Christ. Gave me comfort that this special man has been rewarded with a legacy and eternal life. Please ask the attendant for the key as it’s a self guided “tour”. Don’t miss this peek into Snowflake Bentley’s special life when visiting the Old Mill. Yes, highly recommended for kids...

The museum store offers a wide variety of artwork, pottery, paintings,and other Vermont made products at very good prices. We bought snowflake earrings and were tempted to buy affordable pottery items. If you need a mug, vase, bowl, or plate I recommend you stop by. The prices were much lower than those at most artisan sales and farmer’s markets. The photos of the snowflakes are sweet treasures to own.
The staff were welcoming, helpful and friendly.
What a lovely place to...

This dude figured out how to photograph snowflakes and built a life out of it. The gift shop has a lot of local artist. The cool part is a lot of the old mill works are still in the gift shop. The best part is the outside. The Old Red Mill is one of the most photogenic spots in Vermont. It's hard to take a bad picture of the Mill...
