During the 1970s, the museum was run by a group of volunteers, but in 1981 the first professional director, W. Ron Foulds was hired to run the museum. The museum curates various exhibitions aimed at the general public as well as local school groups and other community organizations. Educational programs for lifelong learning and significant school programs are also conducted by museum staff and volunteers. Brattleboro Museum and Art Center participates in Brattleboro's Gallery Walk on the first Friday of every month.

The building was constructed in 1915 out of quartzite rubble which was mined locally from across the Connecticut River in New Hampshire. The original train station, built in 1849, was located across the tracks on the east side, just west of the river. The upper floor and former baggage area of the station converted into a museum in the 1970s. From the museum's founding in 1972 until June 2026, the former baggage area on the lower track level of the building was utilized as a passenger waiting room for Amtrak's Brattleboro station. This use ceased when Amtrak transitioned operations to a newly constructed, standalone station across the tracks. In 2019, the museum announced a 30 million dollar expansion project that would construct a second, larger exhibition space on an adjacent property.
