Lake Champlain Maritime Museum
A special small museum, providing insight into the maritime history of
Lake Champlain, and also preserving the boatbuilding craft, through instruction programs
for children and adults.
Rokeby Museum
Perched on a hill overlooking the Champlain
Valley, Rokeby Museum provides an intimate record of two centuries
of Vermont family life and agriculture. The house and farm nurtured
and survived the growing up and growing old of
four generations of
Robinsons—a remarkable family of Quakers, farmers, abolitionists,
authors, and artists.
Today, listed as a
National Historic Landmark, the site tells two stories
simultaneously — of the Robinsons in particular, and more broadly,
of Vermont and New England social history from the 1790s to 1961.
