A new museum dedicated to the Vermont Abenaki Indian culture and heritage has opened in East Montpelier. The museum aims to teach visitors about the Abenaki people through historical items on display in the museum as well as a classroom that will be offering various classes geared around the Abenaki heritage. Owner Todd Hebert is very proud of his heritage. The Abenaki’s were recognized by The State Of Vermont in 2006 as a tribe. Up to this point so much of the history has been lost or forgotten. Todd Hebert wants to regain much of what has been lost and begin teaching our children about our ancestors and their struggles. Inside the museum is also a gift shop where people can take home with them an abundance of Native American inspired items.
Many exciting things are in the works for the museum such as Genealogy workshops, Drumming circles, arts & crafts classes and more. The museum also hopes to inspire artists to bring their wares in to the gift shop to be sold on consignment. Anyone interested in teaching a class or selling their wares should contact Todd Hebert at 802-224-1055 or by visiting the website at http://www.maplesugarhouse.net
