This museum documents centuries of activity on the historically significant lake. Climb aboard a replica of Benedict Arnold's Revolutionary War gunboat, learn about shipwrecks, watch craftsmen work at traditional boatbuilding and blacksmithing, or take a rowing lesson or tour on the open water.
Nora Ganley-Roper and Adam Polonski crisscross the United States tasting whiskies from independent distilleries, choosing only the most interesting to bottle and sell under their Lost Lantern name. Their tiny Vergennes tasting room is the place to go to sample what they find, sometimes before it's released to the world or long after its bottles have sold out. Flights rotate seasonally, but bottles are always for sale.
A Quaker family farm for nearly two centuries, this National Historic Landmark served as a safe haven for enslaved people seeking freedom during the days of the Underground Railroad. Join one of the guided house tours, explore the grounds and the historic farm buildings, or set off on the more than 50 acres of hiking trails. The mid-summer pie and ice cream social is an annual highlight.
