All Aboard Rolls into Bryan Station


There're a couple hundred people in the gallery from which I'm stealing a moment to say, "What an opening!" The enthusiasm is infectious; many are discovering artists new to them, and historical facts about Vermont and the country, through the lore of the railroads. What a key culture in our history - no wonder the image of the train has captured the imaginations of all ages for generations.

The gallery is open Friday - Sunday, 11 - 4 and by appointment at any time. 802-644-5100

ALL ABOARD ARRIVING AT BRYAN MEMORIAL JUNCTION


The doors opened this morning on All Aboard, Bryan Memorial Gallery's winter exhibition. In our glee, curator Fiona Cooper Fenwick, data manager Marcie Vallette and Executive Director Mickey Myers stood at the gallery's front door, mimicking train sounds. Then it was back to work to continue fine tuning over 500 historical objects, paintings, trains, toys, posters and videos that offer delight and information about railroad culture. Join us this weekend, Sunday, February 5 at 1 for the Artists Roundtable, and 2 - 4 for a reception in honor of the artists and lenders. We'll have you home in time for the Super Bowl.
