The Vermontville Academy is a building in Vermontville, Michigan, located on North Main Street. The town's early settlers, who came from Vermont and called themselves the Union Colony, arrived in the area in 1836 and built the building in 1844. The Vermontville Academical Association operated the building as an academy and chapel. A general store opened on the first floor in 1853, and the structure also served as the town's meeting hall. Religious services ceased in 1864 when a nearby Congregational church was constructed.^[2] The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
