There is a vein of slate that goes from Fair Haven to West Pawlet, the same vein is in Northern Wales. Find out about how slate is processed, the immigrant communities that came to work the slate (why is there a church in Poultney where Welsh is still spoken??), and maybe you'll start noticing that ALL of the roofs around here are slate. This is also the only place in the world with red slate. There's a little pedestrian covered bridge out back. Take a right after crossing and go see the Pember Museum (top floor of the library), an old-fashioned stuffed-animal-collection museum, but fascinating nonetheless.

Historically and today, this is the Slate Valley, really alive in the 19th and early 20th century!

This is Slate Valley, a good quality small museum, connected to the Pember Museum by a covered bridge.

The Slate Valley Museum celebrates the history and culture of the quarrying community that was established along the New York-Vermont border in the 1800s. This sweet little museum tells the story of the Welsh, Jewish, and European immigrants who came to this country 150 years ago to work the slate quarries. See historic machines used to extract slate and beautiful modern slate creations. Many Slate Valley quarries are still in operation, producing most of the colored roofing slate sold throughout the United States today.
