Vermont's MAIN STREET MUSEUM provides quirky diversion - WildTravelsTV.com
The mission of the Main Street Museum in Vermont is to provide a showcase for its offbeat stockpile of curiosities. It takes pride in collecting things that other museums pass up. In this segment during season two of WILD TRAVELS, we stop in this museum, formerly home to the White River Junction, VT, fire station.
WILD TRAVELS is a travel series celebrating the uniqueness of America in its unusual, eccentric, and downright quirky people, places and events.

Rockwell @ MSM LIVE!
Almost two years ago to the day, Daisy Rockwell read from her work at the Main Street Museum in White River Junction. At the time, she was living in Lebanon, raising her daughter and painting while her husband worked as a doctor.
All that time, back to 2006, she had been working on a novel, too. The novel, titled Taste, is slated for publication later this month and Rockwell will read from it Friday evening at the Main Street Museum, in conjunction with the opening of a small show of her recent paintings.
Rockwell worked on the book in secret. Even her husband didn't know she was writing it. I kind of kept it to myself because everyone's always working on a novel, it seems like, she said in a phone interview from Bennington, Vt. Her family moved about 18 months ago for her husband's work and to be closer to her family, which is mostly in the Berkshires.
Taste follows the travels of a Waspy guy in his late 30s, Rockwell said, who is on an obsessive hunt for a table that belonged to his grandmother. As the quest unfolds, the protagonist becomes increasingly unstable. The book's title comes from the protagonist-narrator's habit of cataloging all of the food he eats.
Rockwell said she likes the idea of doing her first reading from the novel at the Main Street Museum. The table in the novel has a recessed center that's covered in glass and filled with wax fruit, just the kind of curious object the museum was designed to explore.
I feel like the Main Street Museum is the perfect spot because it's dedicated to strange artifacts and celebrating our attachments to them, she said.
Writing is not new to Rockwell. She has a doctorate in South Asian literature and has translated Hats and Doctors, a volume of short stories by Upendrenath Ashk, from the original Hindi. She has a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to translate Ashk's monumental novel Falling Walls.
Even as she has been writing and translating, Rockwell has continued painting. Two years ago, she was wrapped up in a controversy over her paintings of terrorism suspects. She is the granddaughter of Norman Rockwell, and right-wing commentators trying to wear the legendary illustrator's mantle took her to task.
She has continued to paint what she comes across in the news. A series of nudes consists of portraits taken from the news of members of FEMEN, the Ukrainian feminist protest organization.
Partly it's a joke to myself because I never went to art school and never painted nudes, she said. She called the paintings political nudes, including one of a woman nude from the waist up with a slogan painted across her chest being wrestled into submission by police.
Some of the other paintings in the show, which is titled Girls, Girls, Girls, are of mugshots of women. Men who are photographed after arrest tend to be either drunk or defiant, Rockwell said, but women have these rather strong facial expressions which are very hard to categorize.
A reception for Rockwell at 6 p.m. Friday evening is free and open to the public. The reading at 7 p.m. is a fundraiser for the museum. Reserved seating for the reading is $50 and a general admission ticket is $25. Standing room is $10, but the event is free for students, museum members and volunteers. A book signing will follow at 8 p.m.

The Best Places to Visit in Vermont, USA
The Best Places to Visit in Vermont, USA
Vermont is equal parts myth and reality. A mere mention of its name and images appear: sunlit meadows of black-and-white cows, dazzling white ski trails, tidy hillside farms, blazing red maple trees along a stone wall, covered bridges, buckets collecting sap for maple syrup.
Vermont is a place, but also a state of mind that revels in outdoor beauty, good food, and the preservation of unique small towns and cities. Visitors love Vermont for its colorful fall foliage; ski mountains like Killington, Manchester, Stowe, and Mount Snow; mountain vistas; and attractions for families and kids. Although Vermont is an inland state, it has beaches and water sports at the Lake Champlain, along with many lakes, streams, and swimming holes.
Yep, Vermont’s got it all. Here’s a look at the best places to visit in Vermont.
