The Saint Albans Museum is located in a three-story schoolhouse, the former Church Street Academy, built in 1861. The building is one of several historic structures surrounding the picturesque Taylor Park green, which borders Main Street (Route 7). The Museum features comprehensive exhibits about local and regional history, including: the St. Albans Raid (the northernmost land action of the Civil War), a historic classroom, community organizations and businesses, Abenaki archaeology, Vermont medicine, the Central Vermont Railway, our French-Canadian heritage, and more! Our newest displays focus on St. Albans and World War I, as well as the agricultural history of Franklin County. There truly is something for everyone!


A special maple exhibit will be featured, and the Museum is fully accessible with plenty of convenient parking.

Chris Staples

“Chris Staples is a gifted storyteller who reveals life's greatest mysteries in humanity's smallest moments.” -NPR’s All Songs Considered



April 25, 2025 in The Bliss Room at St. Albans Museum

Doors at 7 pm - Show at 7:30 pm - Bar open until 9:30 pm


Chris Staples is an American indie rock musician originally from Pensacola, Florida, long based in Seattle, Washington. Since the release of his first album in 2001, Staples’ core strengths have grown into a subtle brilliance – innate melody, intense allegory, and the deceptive sinew behind songs that could easily be dismissed as merely quiet.


There are no casual Chris Staples fans. Play his music during a road trip with friends and inevitably someone will ask, “Who is this?” And a lifelong fan is born. Such is the unaffected power of these songs, of this voice. A phenomenally dexterous guitarist, Staples has spent much of his career so far as a backing musician for other artists. Over the years he’s played with J. Tillman, later known as Father John Misty, and toured the world as a member of Telekinesis. [NPR Live Sessions]
