Snowflake Museum
Wilson Alwyn Bentley was born February 9th, 1865, on a farm in Jericho, Vermont. A life long fascination for snow, coupled with a scientific bent combined to produce the first photographs of snow flakes. It was a life's work for him until his death in 1933.
The Buffalo museum of Science in Buffalo, New York has Bentley's collections (Primary and secondary) and they're also online.
