Snowflake Bentley Exhibit

Wilson Bentley was born on February 9, 1865, in the town of Jericho, Vermont. A farmer by trade, he attracted worldwide attention with his pioneering work in the area of photomicrography. Most notable in his lifelong work with rain, dew, and frost was his extensive work with snowflakes. On January 15, 1885, he became the first person to photograph a single snow crystal. He would go on to photograph well over 5000 snow crystals (never finding two the same), and his documentation of this work advanced the study of meteorology in his time. Open to the public free of charge
