Do you have memories of Brant Street? We'd love to hear them! Museums of Burlington is developing a new exhibition opening in summer 2027 that will explore the history of Brant Street.

We're looking for community members who remember Brant Street from years past and would be willing to share their stories through a 5–10 minute oral history interview. Whether you remember shopping downtown, meeting friends, attending parades, working for a local business, or simply spending time on Brant Street, your memories can help preserve Burlington's history for future generations.

Interviews will take place between August and October 2026 at a time and location that works for you. If you're interested in participating, please complete this form. >> https://ow.ly/qsuI50ZnT7S
