An Interactive, Multidisciplinary Exhibition
September 13 – November 30
Apples may seem simple, after all, “A is for apple.” But peel back the skin and you’ll uncover a world of science, art, history, and human connection.
This fall, we are digging into the story of Vermont’s favorite fruit in a playful exhibition that blends storytelling, hands-on fun, and sensory experiences that will leave you seeing apples in a whole new way.
What’s Inside the Exhibition
- Test your apple knowledge with a “Guess Who” game
- Create your own apple variety through playful design
- See stunning orchard photography through the seasons by Caleb Kenna
- Take in a wall of vintage USDA apple art
- Step into an interactive farm stand designed just for kids
- Explore our heirloom orchard and check out antique apple peelers

“Everyone loves apples! This fun, quirky exhibition celebrates this fascinating fruit. Visitors are guaranteed to learn something new and have fun along the way.”
-Christine Scales, Director of Education & Interpretation
