Museum Text Hello and welcome to the Perkins Museum of Geology, located in Burlington, Vermont on the campus of the University of Vermont . We are housed in Perkins Hall along with the Geology department. Here at the museum, we offer a small insight into events that occured millions of years ago. Within our one room exhibit hall is an abundance of knowledge. We have exhibits of various fossils, minerals, and rocks of Vermont and all over the United States.
Tours are available, upon appointment, for no fee.
At full capacity, the museum can accomodate approximately 25-30 students accompanied by about 5 chaperones. If you plan to visit the museum, tours can last anywhere from a 5 minute introductory greeting and overview, to a 20-30 minute guided presentation. We have a variety of hand-outs available, such as scavenger hunts and information on the exhibits. Many teachers, and group directors sometimes opt to visit the museum prior to the class visit in order to prepare their own teaching aids for the trip. Thank you again from everyone here at the museum.
