Plan Your Visit

Putney, Vermont has in its Co-op two clocks: one that tells the local time, and one that tells the time in Putney, England. Side-by-side, these clocks are symbolic of a local pride shared by those who live here, unable to resist experiencing the magical beauty of Putney and its surroundings year-round, and those drawn here by the international reputation of its artists and educators.  

Yellow Barn was founded in Putney, the dream of residents David and Janet Wells, when they opened their home (and the original “barn”) in 1969 for their students’ continued study over the summer months. What began as a simple musical idea, has become one that the Putney community shares with visitors from around the world, and is one example of the many unique artistic and educational models that call the small village of Putney their home.
